Berlin, Feb 8 Harry Kane's second-half brace helped leaders Bayern Munich to a 3-0 win over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.

The German giants took control from the kick-off as Jamal Musiala twice tested goalkeeper Michael Zetterer in the opening stages, reported Xinhua.

Bayern dominated possession but could not turn its dominance into a lead in the first half.

Bayern came out with all guns blazing in the second half, with Kane hitting the crossbar with a long-range shot in the 46th minute. The England striker opened the scoring 10 minutes later when he converted a penalty for handball.

Leroy Sane doubled the lead with eight minutes to play, latching onto Konrad Laimer's square pass moments after coming on as a substitute.

Bayern made it 3-0 in stoppage time after Kane netted his 29th consecutive penalty, also his 21st goal of the season.

"We need to keep the momentum going. We had a few more chances to score more goals. We have some big games coming up, we need to stay focused," said Kane.

Bayern is nine points clear of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, while Werder Bremen remains in eighth place.
