Foul on Guirassy? Kane insists: "That’s part of the game!" | OneFootball

Harry Kane was once again the decisive man for FC Bayern. In the 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund, the English superstar scored the leading goal – and then became the subject of discussion due to an alleged foul action. After the match, the striker responded with clear words on Sky.

FC Bayern won the Bundesliga classic against Borussia Dortmund 2-1, continuing their perfect winning streak in the league. Harry Kane played a significant role once again, scoring the crucial 1-0 in the 22nd minute. The striker capitalized on a perfectly taken corner by Joshua Kimmich, outmaneuvered his opponent Serhou Guirassy in the penalty area, and headed the ball into the net.

After the game, Kane explained in an interview with Sky that the goal was no fluke: “We talked before the game about them having a weakness at the near post. Josh played a great corner, I got in between, and it worked. It's something we've worked on.”

However, after his goal, some voices claimed that Kane had pushed Guirassy to the ground during the header duel. The Englishman reacted calmly to the accusations – and countered with a wink: “No, come on. This is competitive sport. I just shielded the ball. If that's a foul, then I don't know what to say.”

In fact, referee Bastian Dankert assessed the scene but awarded the goal without VAR intervention.

“The most important thing is the three points”

Besides the foul debate, Kane also spoke about his team's performance and the significance of the victory: “We played really well for 60 minutes. We could have been up 2 or 3-0 in the first half. In the second half, we held on well and secured the win.”

After the international break, it is not a given to immediately find the rhythm again, emphasized the captain of the English national team: “After the break, it's never easy, the most important thing is the three points. It was a big game – Dortmund was unbeaten for a while, we are also unbeaten. We need to keep securing such wins. We're doing that very well so far.”
