Harry Kane scored three second-half goals as Bayern Munich defeated Stuttgart in the German Cup final at Berlin’s Olympiastadion. He headed in the opener after 55 minutes and completed his treble with a penalty in stoppage time. His second goal featured a shot that struck the crossbar from 25 yards, followed by a turn that left Chema Anders behind before Kane finished in the box. Kane scored in every round of the competition, bringing his season total to 61 goals in 51 games. He added the DFB Pokal to two Bundesliga winner’s medals and enters the World Cup as Europe’s most in-form striker, with England beginning against Croatia on June 17.
"Kane scored three second-half goals as Bayern swept aside Stuttgart in the final at Berlin's Olympiastadion. The 32-year-old headed home the opener after 55 minutes and rounded off his treble from the penalty spot in stoppage time."
"The pick of his goals was his second, however. After rattling the crossbar from 25 yards, he span Stuttgart's Chema Anders brilliantly in the box before slotting home. Kane, mocked for so long for his sparse trophy cabinet, has now added the DFB Pokal to his two Bundesliga winner's medals."
"The 32-year-old scored in every single round of the competition, and his treble in the final took his goal tally for the season to 61 - a return made all the more astonishing by the fact he managed it in only 51 games."
"His captain heads into the World Cup as the most in-form striker in Europe. England's campaign gets underway against Croatia on June 17, and Kane said on Friday: 'I'm extremely proud to be going to another World Cup. 'I never take these moments for granted, these are the moments I dreamed of growing up.'"
