Kane helps Bayern ease past Leverkusen into Champions League quarters

Date:

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane scored one goal and set up another as his side beat hosts Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in the Champions League last-16 second leg on Tuesday to advance with a 5-0 aggregate win to the last eight where they face Inter Milan next month.

Kane, who netted twice in last week’s 3-0 first leg win, tapped home from close range in the 52nd minute for a 10th Champions League goal that made him the first English player to score 10 times in a single European Cup season.

The England striker then delivered a one-touch pinpoint assist for Alphonso Davies to score the second goal in the 71st.

“A really good performance,” Kane said. “From the first minute, we didn’t want to be a team who dropped off and defended the lead. We wanted to be on the front foot, put pressure on, and create chances to win the game.

“We did that in the first half and had the better chances. Then, second half, we knew they had to come out and try something and we punished them,” said the forward.
