Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich earned a 3-0 win over Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.

Kane then tapped in his second six minutes after the break to bag his 11th goal of the Bundesliga campaign so far.

Victory takes them three points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig, who lost their first game of the season with a 2-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

In LaLiga, Ante Budimir’s penalty was the difference for Osasuna to beat Real Valladolid 1-0 and Girona emerged victorious in a seven-goal thriller to beat Leganes 4-3.

With the scores level at 2-2 going into the second half, Cristhian Stuani fired Girona ahead from the penalty spot and their lead was extended when Sergio Gonzalez turned the ball into his own net.

Munir El Haddadi pulled one back for Leganes, but Girona held on to seal three points ahead of a big midweek game against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Tuesday.

In Ligue 1, Paris St Germain extended their unbeaten run in the league with a 1-0 win over 10-man Lens.
