The result meant both teams maintained their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season, with Bayern Munich in pole position of the table on 13 points from five matches, while Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen sit third, three points adrift.

Robert Andrich opened the scoring for Leverkusen in the 31st minute with a crisp first-time finish into the bottom corner after a clever pass from Granit Xhaka. Bayern’s response was swift and spectacular, with Aleksandar Pavlovic unleashing a stunning 25-yard strike that nestled in the top corner just eight minutes later.

Kane, who has been enjoying a rich vein of form since his high-profile move to Bayern, was forced off in the 86th minute with an apparent ankle injury following a challenge from Amine Adli. The England captain’s substitution will be a concern for manager Vincent Kompany ahead of upcoming fixtures.
