Kane double helps Bayern into Champions League quarter-finals

0

Bayern Munich secured a comprehensive 3-0 (Agg: 3-1) victory over Lazio at the Allianz Arena to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg and reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Ciro Immobile's penalty gave Lazio a 1-0 win in the first leg of their last-16 tie in Rome last month, but first-half goals from Harry Kane and Thomas Muller turned the tie on its head before the break in Munich on Tuesday as Lazio rued a big missed opportunity with the score still 0-0.

The game and the tie was made safe when Kane added Bayern's third and his second of the night for his sixth goal in eight Champions League games this season. The England captain now has 33 goals in 33 games in all competitions for the German side.

The result sees Bayern book their place in the quarter-final draw, which take place on Friday March 15. It keeps alive Bayern and Kane's hopes of ending the season with silverware, especially with their struggles in the Bundesliga where they trail league leaders Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points.

Speaking after the game, Kane believes the win against Lazio could help change the momentum of the season for Bayern, who picked up just their second in six games in all competitions.

"It was an important night," Kane said. "It can really change the momentum of the season."
