Harry Kane<\/a> said he is targeting Robert Lewandowski<\/a>‘s Bundesliga<\/a> record of 41 goals in a season after notching another two in Bayern Munich<\/a>‘s 3-2 win<\/a> over Borussia Dortmund<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

It was the fourth straight game he scored two goals or more and it took his league tally to 30 from 24 games so far.<\/p>\n

“For sure,” the England<\/a> star replied when asked if he was going for Lewandowski’s record from 2020-21. “I’ve got to keep doing what I’m doing.”<\/p>\n

Kane scored another penalty on Saturday to tie the Bundesliga record set by Paul Breitner in 1980-81 of 10 successful spot kicks. Across all competitions this season, the 32-year-old Kane has already scored a career-high 45 goals in just 37 appearances for Bayern.<\/p>\n

“There’s still a lot of games to play,” Kane said of attacking the record in the remaining 10 games of the season.<\/p>\n

“I need to try and be consistent over that period. We’ll see from late April, start of May, if it’s possible. But of course, right now it’s just there and I just got to do what I do.”<\/p>\n

Kane recently celebrated 500 goals for club and country<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lewandowski, who was also playing for Bayern, broke Gerd M\u00fcller’s record from the 1971-72 season by scoring in the last minute of the last game in May 2021. At the same stage of his record-breaking season, Lewandowski had a one-goal edge on Kane, with 31 goals from 24 games.<\/p>\n

Kane said he didn’t think the Bundesliga title race was over with Bayern 11 points clear of Dortmund at the top.<\/p>\n

“We had an 11-point lead a few weeks ago and we saw how quickly it can change within two results,” he said. “So we have to stay focused.”<\/p>\n
