Bayern Munich 4-0 Tottenham: Kane haunts former club in pre-season rout

Harry Kane haunted former club Tottenham as he led Bayern Munich to a 4-0 thrashing in a pre-season friendly on Thursday.

Kane kickstarted the scoring in the 12th minute and also missed a penalty in the first half, before three goals after the break dealt Thomas Frank his first defeat as Spurs boss.

The England captain hit the back of the net early on after taking down Michael Olise’s exquisite ball over the top before finding the bottom-left corner with a well-taken finish.

Bayern were awarded a penalty shortly after when Joao Palhinha, making his first start for Spurs since his loan move from Vincent Kompany’s side, brought down Josip Stanisic.

Kane assumed responsibility of the spot-kick but uncharacteristically blazed the ball over the crossbar, though it mattered little to the reigning Bundesliga champions.

The hosts doubled their lead just after the hour thanks to Kingsley Coman’s stunning curling strike before Lennart Karl put the result beyond doubt in the 74th minute.

Jonah Kusi-Asare concluded the scoring 10 minutes from time with another sublime effort from just inside the box, maintaining Bayern’s unbeaten start to pre-season.
