A much-changed Bayern looked to be cruising to victory after Raphael Guerreiro's brace inside the opening half hour, but Jakov Medic's goal and Joao Palhinha's red card shortly before the break changed the course of the game. Ibrahima Sissoko and Matus Bero completed an unlikely turnaround for Bochum on Saturday, something second-half substitute Kane is eager not to see repeated.

He said after the game: "We started the game well and did everything we needed to take the lead. Then they scored and the momentum shifted. After the red card, it shows that at this level you have to stay focused for 90 minutes or you can be punished – and that's exactly what happened today (Saturday)."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Fortunately for Bayern, second-placed Bayer Leverkusen also suffered a surprise Bundesliga defeat, meaning Vincent Kompany's side remain eight points clear at the top of the table. Despite this setback, Kane's hunt for a first-ever trophy is very much alive.
