Kane doubles up as Bayern sink Chelsea in Champions League
MUNICH: Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich beat Chelsea 3-1 at home in their Champions League opener on Wednesday. Michael Olize pressured Trevoh Chalobah into an own goal with 20 minutes gone, before Kane won and converted a penalty seven minutes later. Cole Palmer finished off a superb team counter-attack just two minutes later to bring Chelsea back into the game. But Kane stepped up again midway through the second half to wrestle control back Bayern’s way. England captain Kane says facing Premier League sides gives him extra motivation to “play better,” and Chelsea were on the receiving end as he climbed up to 10 goals in just six games this season. Bayern captain Manuel Neuer, the last survivor from the 2012 Champions League final between the sides, won by Chelsea at the same venue, brought up his 100th win in the competition.
