1. FSV Mainz 05 v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga

Kane hits 53rd goal as Bayern complete Mainz 'miracle'

Bayern Munich arrived at Mainz in a celebratory mood, having already secured the Bundesliga title and booked their place in the DFB-Pokal final earlier in the week. However, that high spirits quickly evaporated during a disastrous first half where a heavily rotated side fell three goals behind following strikes from Dominik Kohr, Paul Nebel, and Sheraldo Becker. Harry Kane has hailed Bayern Munich’s incredible powers of recovery after they clawed back to beat Mainz 4-3.

Late Kane penalty bails out Bayern vs rock-bottom Mainz

Rock bottom Mainz were mightily close to shocking Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena before a late Harry Kane penalty rescued a fortunate point for the Bavarian giants. Vincent Kompany’s side were unimpressive at home and struggled to break down a stubborn Mainz defence, but battled back to draw 2-2 and maintain their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga this season.
