Harry Kane bags hat-trick as Bayern Munich dominate DfB-Pokal final

Harry Kane bags hat-trick as Bayern Munich dominate DfB-Pokal final

Despite dominating possession, the Bavarians struggled to create many meaningful chances in the first half with Stuttgart holding their defensive shape well.

However, after a goalless first half, Kane burst to life in the second period with a second-half hat-trick to win another trophy for Bayern.

In the 55th minute, he got on the end of a Michael Olise cross to head Bayern into the lead.

His second came with 10 minutes left on the clock, receiving a pass from Luis Diaz before turning well on the ball to spin past his marker and slotting home.

The England star completed his hat-trick two minutes into stoppage time at the end of the game, converting from the penalty spot after Olise was fouled in the box.

It was Kane's third triple in consecutive games after he also bagged a hat-trick in Bayern's final Bundesliga match of the season against FC Koln.

Kane ended the season with an incredible 61 goals in 51 games in all competitions for Bayern Munich.

It is the 21st time the Bavarians have won the German Cup but the first time they have done so since the 2019-20 season.

The result leaves Bayern as the most dominant team in Germany once again after a successful couple of years rebuilding under head coach Vincent Kompany.
