Harry Kane reacts to Bayern Munich loanee Josip Stanisic scoring in Bayer Leverkusen rout as Thomas Tuchel bemoans not having ‘nice English rule’

Stanisic opened the scoring for Bayer Leverkusen in the 18th minute before Alex Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong added to Bayern Munich's misery. After the harrowing 3-0 defeat against the league leaders, Harry Kane reacted to Stanisic's goal against his parent club while Thomas Tuchel lamented about Germany not having the "English rule".

Speaking to Sky Sports, Kane said, "The club made a decision at the start of the season and it is what it is. He’s a good player and I trained a few times with him. That wasn’t the reason we lost the game. We lost because we weren’t good enough on the ball."

Tuchel, on the other hand, told reporters post the game, "In England, there's a nice rule where when you loan a player out, they can't play against you. For me that makes more sense. I experienced it often in my career, that a player comes back to haunt the team - the rule unfortunately doesn't exist in Germany. Today we were the ones to suffer from this. I saw Stani earlier and congratulated him, but he's a Bayer Leverkusen player now. That's all I can say."

In England, on-loan players are forbidden to play against their parent club in the Premier League, although they can play in cup competitions. The 23-year-old was sent out on loan by The Bavarians at the start of the season. For Leverkusen, he has appeared in 19 games in the ongoing season. His maiden goal for Xabi Alonso's side came against Bayern on Saturday.

Tuchel's side, who are now trailing Bayer Leverkusen by five points, will be next seen in action in the Champions League as they take on Lazio in the first leg of their round of 16 clash on Wednesday.
