Harry Kane scored his second Bundesliga hat-trick of the new season as Bayern Munich downed Hoffenheim 4-1 on Saturday, while Hamburg won in the top flight for the first time in seven years. Man of the match with two goals in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Chelsea in the Champions League, the England captain kept up his prolific form in a heavily rotated Bayern side. Coach Vincent Kompany made five changes, including handing Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson a first start.
Bayern lacked rhythm early and Hoffenheim had the better chances, but Kane struck before half-time, slicing in from a corner. Any hopes Hoffenheim had of an upset were snuffed out just after half-time, when Kane converted a from the spot after Bayern were awarded a dubious penalty for a handball. Kane added another from the spot in the 77th minute after a VAR review for a foul on Michael Olise. Hoffenheim's Vladimir Coufal got his side on the board late when his free-kick was deflected into the goal. Former Hoffenheim forward Serge Gnabry added a fourth in stoppage time to seal Bayern's seventh win in seven matches this season in all competitions.
