Champions League: Harry Kane equals Chelsea legend's goals record

Bayern Munich striker, Harry Kane scored his 23rd UEFA Champions League goal on Tuesday evening, equaling Chelsea legend Frank Lampard's tally in the competition.

Kane continued his stunning start at Bayern Munich with a starring role in their Champions League 3-1 win over Galatasaray.

The England captain scored Bayern's second goal against the host.

His teammates Kingsley Coman and Jamal Musiala also scored against the Turkish giants.

The win puts Bayern Munich firmly at the top of Champions League Group A, ahead of Galatasaray, Manchester United and Copenhagen.

On a personal note for Kane, it's a goal that puts him level with Lampard for Champions League goals, reaching the 23 goal mark in just 35 appearances in the competition.

Lampard, meanwhile, made a whopping 105 appearances in his long career.

Speaking after the win, Kane told Prime Video:

"It's a really important win. This is a really tough place to come.

"A tough stadium with the fans pushing them on. It made things difficult for us, especially in the first half. Amazing, credit to the Galatasaray fans and obviously our away fans as well.

"This is what football's all about, doing it in tough atmospheres on a big occasion. Thankfully we were able to come through it today."
