- His overall tally rose to 45 goals in 37 competitive games, surpassing his previous single-season best.
- Kane is the first Englishman to reach 45 goals in a season since Dixie Dean achieved 46 for Everton in 1931–32.
- He has recorded four consecutive Bundesliga braces, joining Lothar Emmerich and Tomislav Maric as the only players to do so.
- After the match he said he is “for sure” targeting Robert Lewandowski’s 41-goal record, with 10 league fixtures remaining and estimates suggesting he needs about 12 more; he also tied Paul Breitner’s single-season penalties mark with 10.
