Harry Kane scored twice on his home Bundesliga debut for Bayern Munich as the German champions beat Augsburg 3-1 on Sunday.

Kane’s goals rounded off a great week days after the striker’s wife gave birth to the couple’s fourth child.
“Scoring goals is the main reason I’m here and it’s great to get a couple today,” said Kane in a post-match TV interview.
“I had another chance I could have scored but, overall, I am delighted with the result and to have contributed as well.”
