No goal or assist against Gladbach: Kane’s incredible run comes to an end | OneFootball

FC Bayern continued their record streak with a 3-0 away win in Mönchengladbach, but for Harry Kane, a personal run of success came to an end. The English superstar was left without a goal or assist for the first time in weeks.

It was a hard-fought victory for the German record champions. Despite an early red card for Gladbach’s Jens Castrop, Vincent Kompany’s team struggled for a long time to break down the deep-lying opposition. Only after an hour did Joshua Kimmich put Bayern in front, before Raphael Guerreiro and shooting star Lennart Karl sealed the win.

For Harry Kane, however, the afternoon was less fortunate. The 32-year-old was certainly committed, repeatedly seeking depth and chances – but this time, that final bit of luck was missing.

In the 62nd minute, the moment seemed to have arrived: Kane broke through decisively after a pass from Diaz and fired powerfully into the net. The goal celebration was already in full swing, but the flag went up – offside. Only a few centimeters separated the Englishman from his tenth consecutive game with a goal involvement.

It remained at zero. In the end, Kane played 90 minutes without a goal or assist – something that has been rare this season. This brings to an end his impressive streak of nine consecutive Bundesliga matches with at least one goal involvement.

Despite his star striker’s goalless performance, coach Vincent Kompany sees no reason for concern. The Belgian has praised Kane’s consistent performances in recent weeks, repeatedly emphasizing that his value goes beyond just scoring goals.

Indeed, the English international was involved in several dangerous actions in Gladbach, often dropping deep to spark the play and pulling defenders out of the back line. For Kompany, Kane remains an indispensable focal point in Bayern’s game.

There isn’t much time to dwell on the end of his streak anyway. Next Wednesday already sees the DFB-Pokal match at 1. FC Köln – a new opportunity for Kane to continue his impressive form and start a new streak.
