MUNICH, Sept 18 (Reuters) - A ⁠record-breaking milestone from Harry Kane and a sensational ⁠hat-trick by Michael Olise propelled Bayern Munich to ‌the top of the Bundesliga with a 7-0 thrashing of Union Berlin on Friday.

Kane became the fastest player to score 100 Bundesliga goals, ​reaching the mark in his 98th ⁠top-flight appearance to eclipse ⁠the previous record of 129 matches set by Dieter Mueller ⁠in ‌the 1970s.

Olise delivered a masterclass performance, winning a penalty, setting up Kane's second goal and scoring ⁠three goals of his own.

Jamal Musiala set the ​rout in ‌motion after 18 minutes from an Alphonso Davies set-up ⁠before Olise ​took centre stage. The French winger was brought down by Tom Rothe in the 39th minute, allowing Kane to coolly ⁠convert from the spot and get ​his historic 100th league goal. Olise got on the scoresheet himself four minutes later, finishing off a pass from Musiala.

In ⁠the 54th minute, Olise set up Kane to smash home his second goal of the night.

Substitute Ismael Saibari added a fifth in the 70th minute before Olise completed ​his memorable treble with two quickfire ⁠strikes in the 73rd and 76th minutes.

The win puts Bayern ​top of the table on 10 ‌points, one ahead of SC Freiburg, ​who travel to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
