Bundesliga
Kane Scores In Comfortable Win For Champions Bayern
Harry Kane scored as newly crowned Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich beat Borussia Monchengladbach in Thomas Muller’s last home game for the club.
With 31 minutes played, Michael Olise cut inside before aiming a shot towards the top corner that was headed in by Kane for his 25th Bundesliga goal of the season.
French winger Olise completed the victory in the 90th minute with a clever flicked finish into the bottom corner from Leroy Sane’s pass.
Kane was restored to the starting line-up after serving a one-match suspension and proved his worth as he has done consistently throughout the campaign that saw Bayern reclaim the title.
Manuel Neuer, returning in goal for Bayern after two months out with a calf problem, got down quickly to push a low shot from Robin Hack around the post as Gladbach went in search of a first-half equaliser.
Bayern pushed forward and Kingsley Coman rose highest in the box but could only head wide, while Sane’s low shot was saved.
Neuer made another great save to deny Tomas Cvancara when he was sent clear through on goal.
Muller started on his 750th appearance for Bayern before his summer departure and was honoured pre-match.
The German forward, 35, was unable to mark the milestone with a goal, despite three promising attempts and left the field to huge applause from fans in the Allianz Arena – as well as a guard of honour from his team-mates – in the 84th minute.
Vincent Kompany’s side complete their season next Saturday (14:30 BST) away at Hoffenheim.
