European football: Kane completes epic Bayern comeback against Mainz
Bundesliga champions score four second-half goals
Kane’s 33rd goal of the season earns ninth straight win
Bayern Munich fought back from three goals down to clinch a 4-3 win over Mainz 05 on Saturday as substitutes Harry Kane and Michael Olise led a second-half comeback for the Bundesliga champions. Dominik Kohr, Paul Nebel and Sheraldo Becker scored for Mainz in the first half while Bayern, who had made eight changes to the starting line-up that beat Bayer Leverkusen in Wednesday’s German Cup semi-final, had no shot on target until the break.
The Bayern coach, Vincent Kompany, brought on Kane and Olise after the break and their renewed aggression paid off with Nicolas Jackson scoring in the 53rd minute and Olise finding the net 20 minutes later.
