Kane moved to Bayern in the summer in search of tophies after failing to land a title in over a decade in north London with Tottenham. Bayern looked a safe bet, having won the Bundesliga title for the last 11 seasons, but are finding it tough going in the current campaign despite Kane's goalscoring exploits. Leverkusen lead the way in the German top flight, while Bayern are also 1-0 down after the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Lazio.
DID YOU KNOW?
Leverkusen's win means they are unbeaten in their last 32 consecutive competitive matches, equalling the record by a Bundesliga team that had previously only been achieved by Bayern Munich from 2019 to 2020 under Hansi Flick.
