Harry Kane produced a decisive second-half hat-trick as FC Bayern Munich defeated VfB Stuttgart in the German Cup final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Saturday, sealing a domestic league and cup double.

The final was tightly contested in the first half, with both sides unable to find a breakthrough.
