  Bundesliga champions Bayern appeared to be easing their way through a DFB-Pokal clash with Wehen Wiesbaden after seeing a Kane penalty and Michael Olise effort fire them into a two-goal lead.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  A shock collapse in the space of six second-half minutes, which saw Fatih Kaya bag a brace, threatened to leave Vincent Kompany’s side on the wrong end of a shock giant-killing – with Kane fluffing his lines when stepping up to take a second spot-kick.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  England captain Kane was, however, to have the final say. He calmly converted from close range in the 94th minute to wrap up a battling 3-2 victory for Bayern. They remain in contention for another domestic honour as a result.

• WHAT KANE SAID

  Kane was a relieved man at the final whistle, having been forced to play 90-plus minutes in a game that Kompany would have hoped to rest and rotate in, with the 32-year-old striker posting on social media: “Got the job done in the end. Into the next round which is the main thing and lots to learn from.”
