Despite Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko equalizing later on, Kane sealed the win with a goal in stoppage time.
With 31 goals across all competitions this season, including 27 in the Bundesliga, Kane has been instrumental in Bayern’s campaign, marking what would be an impressive debut season with the club.
Aside the significance of Southgate’s presence at the Allianz Arena during the game, it was also Bayern’s 1,000th home game in the Bundesliga.
