Bayern beat Monchengladbach to keep pace with leaders Leverkusen

Harry Kane scored his 24th Bundesliga goal to help Bayern Munich beat Borussia Monchengladbach and keep pace with leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Kane headed Bayern in front in the 70th minute after Aleksandar Pavlovic had cancelled out Nico Elvedi’s opener for Gladbach.

Matthijs de Ligt added a third for the German champions who remained two points behind Leverkusen.

England captain Kane continues to eclipse expectations in Germany.

Kane’s headed finish after a poor clearance from Gladbach keeper Moritz Nicolas helped the 30-year-old equal the record for the most goals after 20 matches of a Bundesliga season – his total of 24 bringing him level with two former Bayern strikers – Gerd Muller in 1969-70 and Robert Lewandowski in 2020-21.

Although winning a first major trophy of his career will be Kane’s primary objective this campaign, he is still on course to break a number of long-standing individual records.
