Harry Kane scored his second Bundesliga hat-trick of the new season as Bayern Munich downed Hoffenheim 4-1 on Saturday, while Hamburg won in the top flight for the first time in seven years.

Man of the match with two goals in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Chelsea in the Champions League, the England captain delivered again in a heavily rotated Bayern side.

Coach Vincent Kompany made five changes, including handing Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson a first start.

Bayern lacked rhythm early and Hoffenheim had the better chances, but Kane struck before halftime, slicing in from a corner.

Any hopes Hoffenheim had of an upset were snuffed out just after halftime, when Kane converted a from the spot after Bayern were awarded a dubious penalty for a handball.

Kane added another from the spot in the 77th minute after a VAR review for a foul on Michael Olise.

Hoffenheim's Vladimir Coufal got his side on the board late when his free-kick was deflected into the goal.
