Harry Kane netted his 32nd goal of the season as Bayern Munich cruised to a 4-2 home victory over VfB Stuttgart to secure a record-extending 35th Bundesliga title.

Raphael Guerreiro, Nicolas Jackson and Alphonso Davies were also on target for Bayern, while Chris Fuehrich and Chema Andres replied for Stuttgart.

Defeat for Borussia Dortmund at Hoffenheim earlier in the day left Bayern needing just a point to clinch the title with four games to spare, and they duly delivered dominantly.

Despite rotating heavily ahead of a German Cup semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen, coach Vincent Kompany saw his side recover from an early setback after Fuehrich opened the scoring.

Jamal Musiala created the equaliser for Guerreiro before Luis Diaz provided quick-fire assists for Jackson and Davies as Bayern struck three times in seven minutes to seize control before half-time.

Kane added a fourth early in the second half to put the result beyond doubt, taking his tally to 32 goals for the campaign and underlining his impact in a title-winning season.

Bayern eased off late on, allowing Andres to pull one back, but the result never looked in doubt as celebrations began on the touchline.

The triumph further highlights Bayern’s dominance in German football, with the Bavarian giants now winning 13 of the last 14 league titles. Their total of 35 championships is unmatched, with no other club reaching double figures.

This season has also been historic in attacking terms, with Bayern scoring 109 goals, a new Bundesliga record, while boasting a remarkable goal difference of 80 with four matches still to play.
