Harry Kane opened the scoring while Bayern Munich moved six points from Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga with a 3-2 victory against St Pauli on Saturday.
Kane scored in the 17th minute to put the Bayern on their way before Leroy Sane pocketed a splint for the team of Vincent Kompany.
The strike of the captain of England, sweeping the cross of Michael Olise, was his 22nd in the League season.
Elias Saad equalized for St Pauli 10 minutes later, traveling the Bayern back line before finishing in the lower corner.

Olise provided his second assist in the match when he fed a wonderful pass, which the German international duly pulled in front of Nikola Vasilj in order to St Pauli.
Kane then transformed the supplier, sending a low cross which finishes calmly to double his count for the afternoon.
Lars Ritzka pulled one for St Pauli deeply in a second half stop, but it turned out to be a little more than consolation.
The victory means that Bayern has a good lead on the defending champions Leverkusen at the top of the table with seven games to play.
Kompany’s men will also have an eye on European glory. They face Inter in the quarter -final of the Champions League.
Bayern went to Augsburg in the league next Friday before welcoming the Italian champions – and the current leaders of Serie A – at the Allianz arena the following Tuesday.
