KANE LEADS THE BUNDESLIGA SCORERS’ LIST WITH 21 GOALS – A 2-0 victory gave Bayern Munich a spot in the quarter-finals
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane earned praise from coach Vincent Kompany after scoring one goal and setting up another in a 2-0 victory at Bayer Leverkusen that saw them book their Champions League quarter-final spot. Kane, who leads the Bundesliga scorers’ list with 21 goals, netted his 10th Champions League goal of the season in the 52nd minute to put Bayern in front and then set up Alphonso Davies for a second goal in the 71st.
The 31-year-old England captain is the first English player to score 10 times in a single European Cup season. Kane, who also scored twice in the first leg against Leverkusen, helped Bayern to a 5-0 aggregate win and quarter-final tie against Serie A leaders Inter Milan.
Prior to last week’s first-leg win, Bayern had failed to beat reigning Bundesliga champions Leverkusen in their previous six matches across all competitions. Leverkusen also eliminated Bayern in the German Cup this season.
