Kane scores as Bayern go six points clear in Bundesliga

Harry Kane scored from open play for the first time since November as Bayern Munich went six points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table with a win against Freiburg.

The England captain opened the scoring for the Bavarians with a powerful effort into the bottom left-hand corner.

It was the 31-year-old’s 23rd goal of the campaign and his first from open play since a 3-0 win against Augsburg on 22 November, when he hit a hat-trick.

South Korea defender Kim Min-jae doubled Bayern’s lead with his fourth goal for the club as he headed in Joshua Kimmich’s corner.

Freiburg halved Bayern’s advantage with 22 minutes left of normal time when substitute Matthias Ginter headed in from a corner.

But 32-time German champions Bayern held on to increase their buffer at the top of the table.

That is because champions Bayer Leverkusen failed to keep the pressure on Bayern, conceding an equaliser in the 85th minute in a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig.
