Kimmich’s 87th-Minute Volley Lifts Bayern Past Dortmund To Open 11-Point Bundesliga Lead

Kane reached 30 league goals this season, keeping Robert Lewandowski’s single-season mark within reach.

Overview

  • Bayern overturned a halftime deficit as Harry Kane scored in the 54th minute and from the spot in the 70th before Joshua Kimmich sealed a 3-2 win four minutes after Daniel Svensson’s 83rd-minute equalizer.
  • Kane’s brace was his fourth in a row in the league and included his 10th converted Bundesliga penalty of the season, equaling a long-standing record.
  • Nico Schlotterbeck headed Dortmund in front after earlier escaping with a yellow for a studs-up challenge, then conceded the penalty Kane converted for Bayern’s second.
  • The outcome leaves Bayern 11 points clear with 10 matches remaining, dealing a major blow to Dortmund days after their Champions League playoff exit to Atalanta.
  • Bayern figures cast the victory as pivotal for the run-in, with coach Vincent Kompany pledging to go “full throttle” as the club also pursues the DFB-Pokal and Champions League.
