Harry Kane set numerous British records as he scored twice to help Bayern Munich beat its German rival, Bayer Leverkusen, 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday. The English striker scored a goal in both halves at the Allianz Arena as Bayern took control of the tie, moving one step closer to the quarterfinals. Kane opened the scoring with a close-range header in the ninth minute, converting Michael Olise’s cross to give the home side the perfect early start. And after Jamal Musiala had doubled Bayern’s lead shortly after half-time when he capitalized on a mistake from Leverkusen goalkeeper Matěj Kovář, Kane’s second goal of the game came from the penalty spot with 15 minutes remaining to clinch an impressive win. “I think we felt the hype around the game,” Kane told TNT Sports afterwards. “We knew that we were here at the Allianz. There was a lot of talk after the last performance away from home, but there were a lot of different factors that went into the game. “We were fresh. We’ve come off playing on Friday night. We had a good time to prepare. Everyone was ready to go out there and have a high intensity, especially without the ball.
