In-form Kane ‘hungry' as Bayern and Dortmund face off

VINCENT Kompany yesterday lauded striker Harry Kane’s “hunger” as his Bayern Munich side prepared to host Borussia Dortmund in between the league’s two unbeaten teams.

- 

Bundesliga leaders Bayern have won 10 from 10 in all competitions, scoring 38 goals and conceding just eight. The centrepiece is Kane who is arguably in his career-best form.

The 32-year-old, who scored a brace in Tuesday’s 5-0 thumping of Latvia on England duty, has 18 goals and three assists in those 10 matches for Bayern.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said yesterday Kane’s long trophy drought, that he finally broke with last year’s Bundesliga title, pushed the England captain to get even better.

“Maybe it helped that he didn’t win a title for a long time, so he kept up that hunger,” Kompany told reporters.
