The DFB-Pokal match against RB Leipzig in February was a huge one for Harry Kane. Not because the Englishman opened the scoring in a 2-0 win in the quarter-finals – his sixth goal of the tournament – but because it was the only game in the last month in which he scored “only” one goal. He has scored twice in each of his other matches – all in the Bundesliga. Only Lothar Emmerich in 1967 and Wolfsburg’s Tomislav Maric in 2001 had achieved this feat before. “At certain times in a season a lot of things fall at your feet and go your way and that’s exactly the situation I’m in now,” the goalscorer said after the 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund.
With nine goals in five competitive games – it’s only logical that Kane was named Bayern’s Player of the Month for February.

Kane began his brace at home against Hoffenheim on 8 February, scoring the opening goal and the goal that made the score 2–1 (both penalties), while also assisting the other goal. A week later, his first goal was also a penalty in a 3-0 win over Werder Bremen, and he quickly followed up by scoring his 26th goal of the season. In the 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, he scored Bayern’s second goal with a header and scored the third goal with a left-footed shot. Finally, against table-toppers Borussia Dortmund, the striker’s two goals helped his side come back from a goal down to lead 2-1. The second was another penalty, his tenth in the German top flight – only Paul Breitner had taken so many penalties in one season before in 1980/81. This was despite Dortmund having only 13 touches of the ball in the first half.
Kane is also a champion
