VIDEO: Harry Kane at his best! Bayern Munich striker emphatically ends goal drought by crashing home bullet header for crucial opener in Champions League clash with Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen

Michael Olise won the ball on the right flank and floated a cross into the box, and Kane darted across Nordi Mukiele and slammed the ball home with a powerful header to hand his team the lead in just the ninth minute. This was Kane's first goal after a four-game drought.

Minutes after the England international broke the deadlock, Jeremie Frimpong had a golden opportunity to score the equaliser as he pounced on Dayot Upamecano's mistake. However, Manuel Neuer did a terrific job by coming out of his line and denying the Leverkusen full-back from scoring.

After facing Xabi Alonso's side in the midweek, Vincent Kompany's men will be back in action in the Bundesliga on Saturday as they take on VFL Bochum.
