Harry Kane scores again as Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen draw 2-2 in a thrilling top-of-the-table clash that ends with the visitors converting a last-minute penalty.


Harry Kane scored the opening goal in less than seven minutes in Munich.

The England captain scored from Leroy Sane's corner, beating Granit Xhaka's defence.

The newly-minted Bundesliga star was likely unsatisfied after failing to score his second goal in the second half, despite forcing Hradecky into a heroic stretched save at close range. 


In the 26th minute, Alejandro Grimaldo scored his first-ever goal in the Bundesliga in an impressive manner. He sent a free-kick from the edge of the D, which looped over the wall and past Sven Ulreich's fingertips to even the score. Both teams then competed equally, taking their chances in a closely contested match.


Leverkusen almost took the lead in the 77th minute with Florian Wirtz's near miss. They had a goal disallowed in the first half due to Victor Boniface being offside.


Leon Goretzka appeared to be the hero with his late goal, but a late penalty appeal threatened to ruin Bayern's Oktoberfest festivities.


Exequiel Palacios scored a penalty in the dying moments of added time after Alphonso Davies was judged to have fouled Jonas Hofman.


It appeared that Bayern was going to make a comeback, as Dayot Upamecano scored a goal against Leverkusen. However, the referee quickly disallowed the goal due to an offside call. This resulted in both Xabi Alonso and Thomas Tuchel's teams earning their first draw of the season.
