England captain Harry Kane scored his 24th Bundesliga goal of the season, helping Bayern Munich secure a convincing win against Heidenheim as they edge closer to the German title.
Bayern took an impressive 3-0 lead within the first 36 minutes, with Kane netting the opening goal—his 24th in the league this season—after receiving an assist from former Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise.
Further goals from Konrad Laimer and Kingsley Coman before half-time established Bayern’s control over the match.
Joshua Kimmich added the fourth goal, extending Bayern’s lead to nine points at the top of the table with just four games remaining in the season.
Their closest rivals, Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning champions, have the opportunity to cut the gap to six points if they secure a win against 15th-placed St. Pauli on Sunday.
This latest victory has lifted the spirits of Bayern following their exit from the Champions League against Inter Milan, where they were eliminated with a 4-3 aggregate score midweek.
Overall, Kane has scored a total of 35 goals this season across both the Bundesliga and Champions League.
Heidenheim now sits in 16th place in the table, just two points above the automatic relegation zone.
