Kane scores as Bayern thump Spurs in pre-season friendly

Harry Kane scored his first goal against his former side as Bayern Munich romped past Tottenham 4-0 at home in a pre-season friendly on Thursday.

Kane, who is boyhood club Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer with 280 strikes in 435 matches, put Bayern in the lead after 12 minutes with a composed penalty box finish.

The England captain then had a chance to double Bayern's lead two minutes later when Joao Palhinha, who joined Spurs from Bayern on a season-long loan on Sunday, gave away a penalty.

Kane however slipped, blasting his shot well over the bar. It was the first time Kane failed to convert a spot kick since his miss in the 2022 World Cup quarterfinal defeat to France.

Kingsley Coman added the home side's second with a superb curling shot from the edge of the box with 61 minutes gone.

Bayern teenagers Lennart Karl and Jonah Kusi-Asare both scored in the dying stages to complete the one-sided victory.

Kane joined Bayern in a 100 million euro (£87 million) transfer from Spurs in the summer of 2023.

The match was the Europa League winners' last chance to fine-tune before next Wednesday's Uefa Super Cup clash with European champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Spurs have had a mixed bag under new coach Thomas Frank this pre-season, beating London rivals Arsenal along with Reading, while being held to draws with Newcastle, Luton Town and Wycombe.
