Harry Kane scored two to help Bayern Munich overturn a first-leg deficit against Lazio and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Rome, Bayern looked set for a frustrating night until Kane’s header levelled the scores on aggregate.
Long-serving Thomas Muller doubled the lead on the night with another header.
Kane made it 3-1 on aggregate from close range after Leroy Sane’s shot was parried into his path.
It was an impressive turnaround by Bayern, who have endured a bitterly disappointing domestic campaign.
Thomas Tuchel’s side were facing a first season without a major trophy since 2011-12.
However, this win keeps alive Tuchel’s hopes of delivering Bayern a seventh European title before the former Chelsea boss leaves at the end of the season.
Meanwhile Paris Saint-Germain‘s Kylian Mbappe scored twice to lead them into the Champions League quarterfinal with a comfortable 2-1 win away to Real Sociedad in their round of second leg that wrapped up a 4-1 aggregate victory on Tuesday.
The quarter-final draw takes place on 15 March.
