Harry Kane is settling into his new title: Bayern Munich star.

England's all-time leading scorer had his first assist four minutes into his Bundesliga debut on Friday when he kicked a pass to Leroy Sané for the German side's first goal in a 4-0 road victory against Werder Bremen. To conclude a series of passes, Kane tipped the ball to Sané, who took it down the pitch and struck it in for the score.

Harry Kane scores first Bayern Munich goal

After the half in the 74th minute, Kane scored his first goal for Bayern Munich.

As Alphonso Davies raced downfield, Kane aligned himself onside in front of the goal. Davies tossed his new teammate the ball. Kane took a quick dribble and shot the ball past defender Amos Pieper and into the net.

The former Tottenham star ran around the pitch with his arms out and then jumped and pumped the air before high-fiving his teammates.

Bayern Munich had another goal from Sané and a score in extra time from Mathys Tel to conclude their league opener.

"Amazing start to the league season today. Couldn't have asked for it any better to get a 4-0 win, to get a goal, to get an assist is just a perfect start," Kane said after the match in a video posted to his social media. "Big thanks to all the fans, atmosphere was amazing. It's been an unbelievable week settling in with all the players, all the staff, getting to know everyone. Everyone's been really helpful, so was just excited to get started and couldn't have asked for it any better."

How Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich

Kane made his Bayern Munich debut a week ago as a second-half substitute during a 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig in the German SuperCup. It was the same day that his transfer from Tottenham was completed. He left the English Premier League for a reported $110 million transfer fee — a Bundesliga record. Kane spent 19 years on the Hotspur, becoming the league's second all-time scorer, but never won a trophy.

Bayern Munich has won the Bundesliga 11 years in a row.
