"Harry Kane scored twice in the first half as Bayern Munich cruised to a 3-0 win at Werder Bremen, restoring their six-point lead in the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund's 4-0 win over Mainz on Friday put them within three points of the league leaders but Bayern responded. Bayern were in control from start to finish in Bremen, with Leon Goretzka joining the England captain on the scoresheet in the 70th minute."
"Kane now has 26 goals in 22 Bundesliga games this season and 41 in all competitions, 13 of those from the penalty spot. Bayern lined up without the suspended Michael Olise for the first time in 89 matches in all competitions since the France winger arrived from Crystal Palace in 2024. Bremen kept the league leaders at bay in the opening stages but Kane gave Bayern the lead after 22 minutes, converting a penalty."
"It was the third straight match in which Kane had given Bayern the lead from the penalty spot. Bayern doubled their lead three minutes later when Kane snuck a low shot in off the right post from the edge of the box. The Bayern captain, Manuel Neuer, was substituted at half-time because of a recurrence of a calf injury. Bremen's Marco Gruell hit the post shortly after the break but Bayern put the game to bed when Goretzka swept home with 20 minutes remaining."
