Kane is a phenomenon, says Bayern director | The Express Tribune

[ad_1]
BERLIN:

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane arrived in Germany on a record-breaking transfer and his sensational goal-scoring run this season has already exceeded expectations and turned him into an instant fan favourite.

Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in August for a Bundesliga record 100-million-euro ($106.81-million) fee, with the German champions desperate to bring in a tested scorer to fill the goal-scoring gap created by last year's departure of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.

Kane, the England team's top scorer and the Premier League's second all-time scorer, hit the ground running and has already bagged 21 goals in 15 matches in the Bundesliga and Champions League for Bayern.

"It is impressive," beamed Bayern sports director Christoph Freund after Saturday's double in their 4-2 victory over Heidenheim.

"He is playing away from the UK for the first time and then he scores like that. The team also plays him into position. He is a phenomenon."

Kane's two goals on Saturday took his league tally to 17 from 11 games, setting a league record for most goals at this stage, beating Lewandowski's previous mark of 16. Kane already has more goals after 11 Bundesliga matches than last season's top scorers had in the entire campaign.

"I cannot tell you anything different," Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel said of Kane's scoring run on Saturday. "The performances are telling a story. There is no need for any words."

Kane has also scored four times in four Champions League group matches, with Bayern having already secured a spot in the knockout stage with two games to spare.

Sixty-metre goal

Among the highlights this season is his 60-metre looping shot from Bayern's own half in their 8-0 demolition of Darmstadt 98, undoubtedly a candidate for goal of the season. He also scored a hat-trick in last week's 4-0 victory at title rivals Borussia Dortmund, the first player to do so in their Klassiker debut.

"I believe he can do anything," said Bayern teammate Thomas Mueller. "We only need to bring him into position. If he gets to shoot anywhere near or inside the box then chances are the ball will go in."

Club bosses are equally delighted with Kane's goal bonanza, saying the move was the right one for both Bayern and the title-starved Kane. "Absolutely fantastic," said Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen. "Obviously one is happy when things are working so well, having also been partly responsible for this transfer. I hope it continues like that."

The FDA staff made the conclusion in briefing documents ahead of a meeting on Thursday when a panel of external advisors to the agency will discuss whether to recommend full approval of the RSV shot . The advisors will vote on whether Pfizer's late-stage clinical trial data on the vaccine supports its safety and efficacy. The FDA typically follows the advice of its advisory committees, but is not required to do so. The agency is slated to make a decision on whether to clear the shot in August before RSV season in the fall. If approved, Pfizer's jab would become the world's first vaccine that protects infants against RSV.  RSV usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. But infants and older ad

[ad_1] LONDON: Casemiro scored twice as Manchester United turned on the style to beat 10-man Reading 3-1 and reach the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday as Tottenham forward Son Heung-min ended his recent goal drought. On a day lacking major shocks, there were wins for Premier League strugglers Leeds, Leicester and Southampton but Fulham were held by Championship side Sunderland.

The home side took the lead at Old Trafford in the 54th minute when Anthony produced a defence-splitting pass to find Brazil teammate Casemiro, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Joe Lumley. Four minutes later United were two up, when Casemiro let fly with a stunning strike from outside the box to find the bottom corner.
