Former Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski is the gold standard for Bundesliga scorers as his record of 41-goals is what every striker hopes to achieve.
While current Bayern Munich center-forward Harry Kane did not reach that magic number, the Englishman turned in the most dominant season in 54 years, as his 36 goals were 17 more than the second leading scorer, VfB Stuttgart attacker Deniz Undav, who had 19 tallies.
It was the biggest goal differential between a top scorer and a runner-up in 54 years when Gerd Müller had 40 goals, while Klaus Fischer and Hans Walitza each had 22 goals per @OptaFranz:
17 – Harry Kane scored 17 more goals (36) in this Bundesliga season than runner-up Deniz Undav (19), the largest such margin in 54 years: in 1971/72, Gerd Müller netted 40 goals, with Klaus Fischer and Hans Walitza following at 22 each. Dominance.
