BERLIN: Harry Kane headed in a stoppage-time equalizer to avoid Bayern Munich’s first defeat of the season but a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin ended their record winning start across all competitions.
Union thought they had won it with Danilho Doekhi’s second goal in the 83rd minute but Kane headed in the leveller. Bayern top the Bundesliga on 28 points, six ahead of RB Leipzig, who lost 3-1 at Hoffenheim.
Borussia Dortmund are third on 21.
Bayern, who had made it 16 victories from 16 games with a 2-1 win at Champions League holders Paris St. Germain 2-1 on Tuesday — a record for Europe’s top five leagues — looked to have run out of steam against the hard-working Berliners.
The result left them one win short of their own league record of 10 straight victories at the start of the 2015/16 season.
The hosts thought they had taken the lead through Ilyas Ansah’s ninth-minute header but the fans were bitterly disappointed after the referee ruled it marginally offside following a VAR review.
They still had the upper hand and earned a deserved lead in the 27th when Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer let Doekhi’s weak shot slip through his hands and under his body.
