Diaz at the double, Kane strikes again as Bayern beat Frankfurt
Luis Diaz scored a double, his first coming after just 15 seconds, and Harry Kane added another as Bayern Munich won 3-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
England captain Kane's 18th goal in 10 games in all competitions this season helped Bayern move four points clear atop the Bundesliga table heading into the international break.
Bayern got off to a lightning start, Serge Gnabry grabbing an errant Frankfurt pass to set up Diaz for the third-fastest goal in Bundesliga history.
Frankfurt's Jean-Matteo Bahoya looked to have drawn the hosts level with 15 minutes played after an excellent long-range effort, but the goal was ruled out by VAR for a handball against Ritsu Doan in the lead-up.
With 27 minutes gone, Kane thumped a low shot from outside the box past Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos and into the bottom left corner, his 11th league goal in six matches this season.
Kane collided with Santos late in the second half and needed assistance leaving the pitch with a limp, but was able to jog down the touchline before being subbed off.
Despite the injury he said he would be fit for England duty next week.
"I'm okay. It was a contact to the bone. I had it a few weeks ago, and it was in the same spot today. A few days and it'll be fine" he reported.
Diaz scored with six minutes remaining, raising his total to six goals in 10 games since moving from Liverpool in the summer.
