Having failed to win any of the last six games against Bayern on home turf, Dortmund 🍉 will have been eager to keep things tight early on versus Der Rekordmeister. However, their plans were thrown out of 🍉 the window as the visitors put them to the sword in the opening stages. Thomas Tuchel's side needed less than 🍉 four minutes to break the deadlock, with Dayot Upamecano heading Leroy Sané's corner beyond Gregor Kobel, and they were soon 🍉 two to the good when Sané laid a pass on a plate for Kane to tap home. Die Roten displayed 🍉 an intensity that was missing from their midweek DFB Cup defeat to Saarbrücken, and Edin Terzić's men struggled to deal 🍉 with it. They did improve as the half progressed, and came within inches of halving the arrears on the stroke 🍉 of half-time through Donyell Malen, whose effort flied agonisingly wide of the post. However, no Dortmund supporter could really argue 🍉 with the two-goal deficit at the interval.
Almost immediately after the restart, Kobel needed to produce an important stop to deny 🍉 Jamal Musiala, before Noussair Mazraoui fired over from the resultant corner. Dortmund had to improve after the interval and, to 🍉 their credit, they did pose more of an attacking threat. Their best opportunity fell to Marco Reus, who was only 🍉 thwarted by a strong Manuel Neuer hand after striking on the turn. Bayern remained dangerous, though, and Kobel needed to 🍉 be alert to keep out Sané and Musiala following a pair of swift counter-attacks. Midway thorugh the second period, Tuchel's 🍉 team thought they had further extended their advantage, but Kane was in an offside position before assisting Musiala. However, the 🍉 30-year-old had his second of the game shortly after, sweeping home Kingsley Coman's square pass. Substitute Youssoufa Moukoko wasted a 🍉 fantastic opportunity to grab a consolation, before Kane added the cherry to his and his team's display in injury time 🍉 with a trademark composed finish from Aleksandar Pavlović's through-ball. The result sees Bayern move within two points of Bayer Leverkusen 🍉 at the table's summit, while Dortmund are now seven points adrift of top spot.
