Kane hat-trick seals comprehensive Bayern win

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick as Bayern Munich won 6-1 at promoted Holstein Kiel to lead the Bundesliga after three matches with a maximum nine points.
It was a fourth straight win in all competitions this season under their new coach Vincent Kompany and with Bayern eager to reclaim top spot after losing the title to Bayer Leverkusen last term.
Bayern are first on nine points, two clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig in third.
The Bavarians, who welcome Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday, enjoyed an explosive opening to the match, netting three times in the first 13 minutes as Kiel made a disastrous start peppered with defensive errors.
Jamal Musiala slotted home after the hosts repeatedly failed to clear the ball in the first minute and England forward Kane doubled their lead six minutes later following a mistake by Lewis Holtby, whose pass was intercepted by Serge Gnabry.
Bayern kept up the pressure and were quickly rewarded with another defensive mistake from the nervous hosts that sent Musiala through. After dribbling past two defenders in the box, his cutback was turned in by Nicolai Remberg for an own goal.
Kane bagged his second just before the break with a shot in off the post and substitute Michael Olise slotted home on the rebound in the 65th for his first league goal before Kiel’s Armin Gigovic scored a late consolation.
But Kane, last season’s Bundesliga top scorer, made sure of his first hat-trick of the season with a powerful penalty in stoppage time.
Victor Boniface scored twice as Bayer Leverkusen beat Hoffenheim 4-1 to bounce back from a rare Bundesliga loss. Boniface also set up Martin Terrier’s opening goal and Florian Wirtz scored a penalty.
Leverkusen had lost 3-2 loss to Leipzig in their last game, the first time Xabi Alonso’s title-winning team had lost in the Bundesliga for 15 months.
RB Leipzig dropped points for the first time this season in a 0-0 draw with Union Berlin after Union goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow saved a penalty.
Real Madrid’s Vinícius Jr and Kylian Mbappé converted second-half penalties to give the champions a hard-fought 2-0 win at Real Sociedad in La Liga. It was a high-paced, entertaining affair in the Basque country with both sides missing a string of chances, including three strikes off the woodwork by the home side.
Real Madrid took the lead in the 58th minute with Vinícius netting a penalty after a handball by midfielder Sergio Gomez and Mbappé secured the points by scoring his spot kick in the 75th after Vinicius was fouled.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Madrid team remain second but now have 11 points, one behind Barcelona who visit fifth-placed Girona on Sunday.
Four goals before the half-hour mark helped Milan thrash Venezia 4-0 for a resounding Serie A home win. Milan had a disappointing start to the season, with two draws and a loss, but they delivered an impressive performance on Saturday to secure their first win of the campaign.
Theo Hernández gave Milan the lead just two minutes in with a shot from a tight angle which deflected off Venezia keeper Jesse Joronen’s legs and into the net.
The hosts doubled their lead 14 minutes later when a low corner found its way Youssouf Fofana, who fired into the net. Two quick penalties, first from Christian Pulisic in the 25th minute and then from Tammy Abraham four minutes later, put the match out of reach for the newly promoted visitors.
Venezia thought they got one back late in the game and started to celebrate the goal before it was ruled out by the referee after a VAR review on Hans Nicolussi Caviglia’s reckless challenge on Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the build-up, leading to a second yellow card and his dismissal instead.
Juventus were held to a goalless draw at Empoli. Their point puts them top of the table before Sunday’s matches.
Paris Saint-Germain moved back to the top of Ligue 1 with a 3-1 home win over Brest thanks to an Ousmane Dembélé double and Fabián Ruiz’s brilliant strike.
Fabián and Dembélé scored in an 80-second span after the break to help PSG reach a perfect 12 points from four games, two clear of Marseille and Monaco, who both won earlier on Saturday.
Romain Del Castillo had put Brest in front with a penalty just before the half hour mark after a foul by Nuno Mendes on Ludovic Ajorque.
PSG equalised in the 42nd minute with a header from the unmarked Dembélé off Marco Asensio’s pinpoint cross before Fabián put the hosts ahead with a superb long-range effort in the 73rd.
Dembélé sealed the points seconds later by scoring his second after pouncing on a loose ball after a counterattack.
