Harry Kane equals Wayne Rooney’s record for most Champions League goals by an English player

MUNICH (AP) — Harry Kane scored his 30th career Champions League goal on Tuesday, equaling a record set by Wayne Rooney for the most goals by an English player in the competition.

Kane opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 19th minute to give Bayern Munich the lead over Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb after his teammate Aleksandar Pavlovic was fouled by Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel.

Kane has scored nine Champions League goals since moving to Bayern a year ago and scored 21 before that for Tottenham.

It was Kane’s 50th goal in 50 games in all competitions since moving to Bayern.

Kane has scored six goals in his last three games for club and country including two for England against Finland in his 100th international game and a hat trick Saturday for Bayern against Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga.
