Bayern Munich close in on German title after statement win

Bayern Munich strengthened their grip on the Bundesliga title with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Heidenheim.

England captain Harry Kane scored his 24th league goal of the season, tapping in from Michael Olise’s assist, as Bayern took a 3-0 lead by halftime.

Konrad Laimer and Kingsley Coman added further goals before Joshua Kimmich sealed the win with a fourth.

The win puts Bayern nine points clear at the top with four games remaining.

Bayer Leverkusen can cut the gap to six points if they win their match against St Pauli on Sunday. Bayern’s victory lifted morale after their midweek Champions League exit against Inter Milan.

Kane’s impressive form continues, with 35 goals in the Bundesliga and Champions League this season.

Heidenheim sit 16th, two points above the relegation zone, and struggled to contain Bayern’s attacking prowess.
