Late Harry Kane goal secures three points for Bayern Munich against RB Leipzig as Thomas Tuchel’s team gain momentum in Bundesliga title race

Bayern Munich secured an important three points in the Bundesliga as the title continued to look out of reach for them. 

Harry Kane opened the scoring after a goalless first half, but Benjamin Sesko’s late leveller cancelled out the England skipper’s efforts.

Heading into stoppage time, the former Tottenham striker found the back of the net with a thumping left-footed volley to secure all the points for the hosts. 

Bayern Munich had lost their last three games across all competitions, including a 3-0 defeat to title hopefuls Leverkusen. 

Eric Dier made a start for the hosts as Kim Min-jae was dropped to the bench, and the ex-Tottenham defender’s involvement in the winning goal led Kane to finding a victory.

After the news that boss Thomas Tuchel will leave at the end of the season, and with title-rivals’ Leverkusen’s boss Xabi Alonso lined up as a potential replacement, things at Bayern have been turbulent both on and off the pitch.
