November 11, (THEWILL) – Bayern Munich edged past promoted side Heidenheim 4-2 in a goal-fest Bundesliga encounter on Saturday, with star striker Harry Kane netting a brace to send the serial champions top of the table.
Kane continued his prolific form since moving to Germany from Tottenham in the summer, scoring two first-half goals to give Bayern a comfortable lead. However, Heidenheim fought back valiantly after the break, with Tim Kleindienst and Jan-Niklas Beste netting within three minutes of each other to shockingly draw level.
The drama was not over though, as Bayern quickly retook the lead minutes later through Raphael Guerreiro. Maxim Choupo-Moting then secured the three points late on with a header to make it 4-2.
The victory sends Bayern to the summit of the Bundesliga on goal difference, as title rivals Bayer Leverkusen play on Sunday. Kane’s brace takes his tally to 21 goals across all competitions since his high-profile move, once again proving his world-class ability in front of goal.
While Bayern ultimately claimed the win, plucky Heidenheim provided a stern test and signalled they will not be pushovers following their historic promotion to Germany’s top flight. The match was a thriller for neutrals, with seven goals, multiple lead changes and end-to-end action.
