European round-up: Bayern held by Leverkusen as Harry Kane injured

Here is your round-up of Saturday’s European football from the top leagues on the continent.

Bayern Munich were left frustrated after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena. Robert Andrich scored from range to give the visitors a first-half lead, but it didn’t last long as Aleksandar Pavlovic fired a stunning strike into the net for the equaliser soon after. Harry Kane was subbed off late on with an injury, making him a doubt for their Champions League clash with Aston Villa next week. Vincent Kompany’s side remain top of the standings despite dropping points for the first time this season.
