Bundesliga leaders go nine clear at top with 3-2 win

Fàbregas’s side round off damaging week for Juve

Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 in the Bundesliga on Saturday to move nine points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table.

Bayern took the lead in the 16th minute when Aleksandar Pavlovic volleyed in from the edge of the box and Kane made it 2-0 four minutes later, ghosting inside a crowded box to head home from a Michael Olise corner. The England captain struck again in the 68th minute, punishing a defensive error before curling a shot inside the left post for his 28th league goal of the season.

Frankfurt hit back when Jonathan Burkardt converted a 75th-minute spot-kick after Kane fouled Oscar Højlund. Arnaud Kalimuendo capitalised on a mix-up to score in the 86th minute, but Bayern held on for their 19th win in 23 league games. Dortmund play at RB Leipzig in a 5.30pm BST kick-off on Saturday.
