LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) David Beckham playfully teased Harry Kane after the Bayern Munich star’s remarkable goal from inside his own half during an 8-0 victory over Darmstadt in the Bundesliga.
Kane, the England captain, thrilled the crowd at the Allianz Arena with his sensational strike.
After receiving the ball in the center circle, he looked up and lofted it over the goalkeeper, echoing Beckham’s famous goal for Manchester United against Wimbledon in 1996.
Beckham took to Instagram to congratulate Kane and had some lighthearted banter with the striker, saying, “I mean, I don’t know where you got that idea from @harrykane What a Goal.”

Kane continued to impress by scoring a hat-trick against Darmstadt, his second for Bayern.
He currently stands as the only player in Europe’s top five football leagues with more than 15 goal involvements, boasting 12 goals and five assists in nine appearances.
Kane will be eager to add to his goal tally when Bayern faces Saarbrucken in a DFB-Pokal second-round clash on Wednesday.
