(Bayern München – RB Leipzig 2–1) The Englishman’s overtime goal means that the German giants are back on the winning track.
Saturday 24 February at 21:11
Because it was 1-1 until the 91st minute, but then Kane appeared and knocked in his second goal of the evening.
The striker now stands with 27 league goals. Saturday’s double means that Bayern are back on the winning track after three straight losses. At the same time, they respond to Bayer Leverkusen’s 2–1 victory against Mainz.
Leverkusen tops the table with 61 points. Eight points behind we find Bayern Munich. There are 11 games left in the season.
See Kane’s match-winning score here:
Earlier this week, it was announced that Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is done at the end of the season. It happened after Bayern lost three matches in a row:
- The top game for Bayer Leverkusen in the series (0–3)
- First round of 16 in the Champions League against Lazio (0–1)
- The series match against the Mediterranean seafarer Bochum (2–3)
On Saturday, they narrowly avoided point loss number four.
Watch Kane’s first goal here:
Bayern Munich have won the Bundesliga 11 times in a row. The last time they did not win was in the 2011/12 season in favor of Borussia Dortmund. Now it seems that Bayer Leverkusen will end the series.
The league leader’s coach, Xabi Alonso, has been singled out as one of the candidates to take over for Tuchel. However, Bayern Munich must expect competition for the coach from both Real Madrid and Liverpool.
DONE: Thomas Tuchel will leave Bayern Munich after the season – unless he is fired before then. Photo: ANGELIKA WARMUTH / Reuters / NTB
