Kane scores twice including last-gasp winner in front of Southgate as Bayern desperately try to keep up with Leverkusen

HARRY KANE won’t be the only Englishman who was pleased with his performance in the Allianz Arena.

England gaffer Gareth Southgate watched on as he netted his 26th and 27th Bundesliga goals of the season against RB Leipzig.

Southgate didn’t just see his Three Lions captain continue his Bavarian dominance, but watched Eric Dier get another 90 minutes in the tank too.

The English duo played their part in a crucial 2-1 win over RB Leipzig.

Bayern Munich are chasing down their title rivals Bayer Leverkusen who have shocked the footballing world with their stunning form this season.

Tonight’s victory means that Bayern are able to close the gap to Xabi Alonso’s high-flying side down to eight points.

The Bavarians have been way off their usual standards this season and are fighting to stay in the title race and avoid giving up a 33rd Bundesliga title.

While Leverkusen have been the surprise package in the German top flight with the Black and Reds unbeaten in their 23 league games this season.

Bayern have already announced they will be parting ways with manager Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season after he has failed to maintain their near-perfect standards.

But Kane is one man who isn’t giving up on earning himself the first piece of silverware in his goal flooded career.

The 30-year old has now scored an astonishing 31 goals in 30 appearances in all competitions for Bayern this season.

Southgate will have always known that Kane is the first man on his teamsheet for the Euros in Germany this season with the superstar the national captain.

But his electric form this term will certainly be giving the waistcoat wearing boss a heap of confidence that England could do something very special this summer.

Eric Dier on the other hand hasn’t been in the England squad since March of last year.

But with the 30-year-old centre-back continuing to play consistent football for Bayern he could work his way into Southgate’s thinking this summer.
