Harry Kane broke the record for the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals as his double helped Bayern Munich thrash Union Berlin.
A stunning hat-trick from Michael Olise, along with impressive goals from Jamal Musiala and Ismael Saibari, sealed the seven-goal rout as the defending German champions maintained their unbeaten start to the season.
England captain Kane stepped up to score a 39th-minute penalty after Olise was taken down by Tom Rothe in the area, the 33-year-old powering the spot-kick into the corner for his century landmark.
The former Tottenham forward reached the tally in Germany's top tier in 98 games - fewer than any other player in the league's history.
Kane added his second of the night - and 101st Bundesliga goal - when he headed in Olise's superb cross in the 54th minute.
That took his tally to 152 goals in 154 appearances in all competitions since he moved to Bayern in 2023.
The impressive nature of Kane's speed to 100 Bundesliga goals is shown by the fact the previous record holder needed 31 more appearances to reach the tally.
Dieter Muller's century came in 129 games for Cologne, which is almost the difference of an entire league season.
