DESPITE his best efforts, Harry Kane’s debut season in Germany is not going to plan.
Bayern Munich are now a whopping 16 POINTS behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen after a second half capitulation against mid-table outfit FC Heidenheim.
The Bavarians were leading 2-0 at half time thanks to goals from Kane himself and Serge Gnabry, but ultimately lost the match 3-2.
A second half brace from Tim Kleindienst and a goal from Kevin Sessa meant Heidenheim pulled off a miraculous comeback.
It’s now two losses on the bounce for Bayern after they fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of rivals Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker last weekend.
That means that a domestic trophy for Kane is virtually impossible with Bayer Leverkusen all but over the finish line as Bundesliga champions.
