Harry Kane enjoyed an eventful reunion with his former club, scoring a goal and missing a penalty in Bayern Munich’s 4-0 friendly win over Tottenham Hospur at the Allianz Arena on Thursday.
Kane opened the scoring in the 12th minute following a precise long pass over the top of the defence from Michael Olise. But in the 15th minute he slipped as he was taking a spot-kick and it sailed over the bar.
Bayern completely dominated and scored three times in the final half an hour.
Konrad Laimer dispossed Djed Spence and picked out Kingsley Coman, who curled in their second.
Bayern then brought on a host of youngsters midway through the second half – with Kane one of those coming off – and two of them scored.
Lennart Karl, 17, hit a fantastic first-time effort from 18 yards and Jonah Kusi-Asare, 18, whipped in a fine shot from near the corner of the box.
Luis Diaz, a summer signing for Bayern from Liverpool, also started.
It was Kane’s second game against Spurs – he featured in a friendly at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year – since his £86.4m move in 2023.
The 32-year-old is Spurs’ all-time top scorer with 280 goals in 435 games.
After the match, Kane opened up on his comical penalty miss as he expressed his delight that the game was just a pre-season friendly.
Kane said: “I’m glad it happened in a friendly game. I slipped. As a footballer, sometimes things happen that you can’t control.”
Tottenham’s 2025-26 season starts on Wednesday, 13 August with the Uefa Super Cup against Paris St-Germain in Udine, while Bayern play Grasshoppers on Tuesday, 12 August.
