Harry Kane has tough outing as Bayern Munich lucky to escape Bayer Leverkusen showdown with a draw

Bundesliga

VfB Stuttgart

Bayern Munich

Eintracht Frankfurt

Bayer Leverkusen

Despite being the Bundesliga's top scorers, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bayern-munich-harry-kane-anonymous-vincent-kompany-fail-register-shot-first-half-records-bayer-leverkusen/bltf6ba85745ed4149c" target="_blank">Bayern failed to register a single shot on goal</a> in the first half in a record first for the German giants.At the other end, Florian Wirtz brought a good save out of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, before Jeremie Frimpong headed the rebound against the crossbar. Nathan Tella then went closest to breaking the deadlock, only for his effort to crash against the frame of the goal soon after.The former Southampton man was a whisker away from scoring against Vincent Kompany's men - who put in a strong rearguard effort - but his acrobatic effort went the wrong side of the post.Hiroki Ito was then in the right place at the right time to head Tella's header off the line as the visitors struggled to string passes together in the face of Leverkusen's sustained pressure.Wirtz should have won it at the death for the hosts, who looked like the league leaders at BayArena, but his side could not break Bayern's stubborn resistance.Bayern, who didn't register a shot on goal until deep into the second half, remain eight points clear of second-placed Leverkusen with 14 games of the league campaign remaining.

TELL ME MORE

On a night where Bayern were second-best throughout, Dayot Upamecano was outstanding in defence as he made multiple vital tackles and last-ditch stops to keep Leverkusen at bay. Without him, Bayern almost would have certainly lost the game.

THE MVP

While many Bayern players were poor, Kane had absolutely nothing to feed off in attack. He also took too long, on occasion, to release the ball and never looked a threat.

THE BIG LOSER

Bayern return to Champions League action on Tuesday for the return leg of their Champions League play-off with Celtic, with the Bavarians holding a 2-1 first leg advantage.
