Football Highlights: Kane’s Century and Italy’s Bounce‑Back

Harry Kane just hit his 100th goal for Bayern Munich in just 104 games – a record‑breaking pace in the top European leagues. The striker scored twice in a 4‑0 win over Werder Bremen, pushing Bayern’s lead at the Bundesliga summit to five points.
