‘Nervous’ Harry Kane scores on Bundesliga debut as Bayern Munich beat Werder Bremen in season opener
- Kane creates Leroy Sane opener and scores his side’s second goal in an emphatic 4-0 victory
- Former Spurs striker says there were ‘a few butterflies’ but that his instinct took over on the pitch
England striker Harry Kane admitted to being “nervous” on his Bayern Munich debut, after scoring one and setting up another as his side won 4-0 at Werder Bremen in the season opener on Friday.
Kane, who arrived in Germany on Saturday after a €100 million (US$109 million) move from Premier League side Tottenham, played a part in Leroy Sane’s opener just three minutes in, before scoring midway through the second half.
Billed as the missing link one year after the German champions lost forward Robert Lewandowski, Kane connected play superbly on his Bundesliga debut, going close several times before his 75th-minute strike.
Kane’s goal snuffed out Bremen’s second-half fightback and opened the floodgates.
Sane scored another and French teenager Mathys Tel, who had replaced Kane, added a fourth in injury time to ensure Bayern finished the opening day in their usual place: atop the league table.
“It was a good night” Kane told broadcaster DAZN after the match. “We started well with a goal in the first few minutes. I was a little bit nervous and excited to play the game of course.
