Harry Kane provided two assists as Bayern Munich beat Mainz to consolidate their place at the top of the Bundesliga.

The 33-year-old Ballon d'Or winner teed up goals for Joshua Kimmich and Lennart Karl to take his assist tally for the season to a league-high eight - equalling his best Bundesliga total, achieved in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 campaigns.

Kane also has more assists than any other player in the first nine matchdays of a Bundesliga season since Opta began collecting data in 2004-05.

The England striker is on course to surpass his best tally of 14 assists in a Premier League season, which he recorded with Tottenham in the 2020-21 campaign.

Bayern's victory left them level on 21 points with second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who beat Elversberg 2-1 at home, but the Bavarian side remain top on goal difference.

Kimmich put the Bundesliga champions ahead in the 14th minute after Mainz defender Danny da Costa stumbled while receiving a pass from Lee Jae-sung.

Kane seized on the loose ball and fed Kimmich, who arrowed a powerful shot from the edge of the box into the top-right corner.

Lee thought he had equalised for Mainz when he headed in after Manuel Neuer had flapped at a free-kick towards the back post.

However, VAR ruled the goal out for offside following a lengthy check.

Neuer, who became Bayern's oldest-ever Bundesliga player at 40 years and 225 days, was substituted because of injury immediately afterwards.

Bayern added a second before the hour when Kane played the ball into the path of Karl, who swept it home from a tight angle.

Mainz pulled a goal back in added time when Phillip Tietz glanced in a header from Benedict Hollerbach's cross, but Bayern held on to secure the points.
