Will the Harry Kane curse strike again?! Bayer Leverkusen close gap on Bayern Munich in Bundesliga title race after INSANE 4-3 comeback victory at Stuttgart

Kane is looking to win his first-ever major trophy with Bayern Munich, but the Bavarians could only draw 1-1 in their latest game against Union Berlin, which gave the reigning Bundesliga champions the chance to close the nine-point gap to their arch-rivals. Xabi Alonso's side did exactly that in a dramatic trip to Stuttgart on Sunday.

For a long time, it looked like Leverkusen were set to drop points again after they went two goals down. Jeremie Frimpong then halved the hosts' lead, but Granit Xhaka restored Stuttgart's two-goal advantage as he put the ball in his own net. However, Leverkusen pulled off one of their classic comebacks as a Piero Hincapie goal and an Angelo Stiller own-goal drew them level before Patrik Schick grabbed a 94th-minute winner, which sent Alonso and the away bench into raptures.

Bayer Leverkusen have brought the gap to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title race down to six points, triggering conversations about whether 'the Kane curse' may strike yet again and see Vincent Kompany's side throw away what has looked like a certain title win for months now.

With just eight Bundesliga matchdays remaining until the end of the season, Bayern Munich are still in control of their own destiny and it would take a monumental collapse for Leverkusen to overhaul them. Bayern will be back in action when they take on St. Pauli after the international break, while Leverkusen lock horns with Bochum.
