Harry Kane among goalscorers as dismal Tottenham thrashed

 Harry Kane was on the score-sheet as Bayern Munich thrashed Tottenham 4-0 at the Allianz Arena. The hosts dominated the game and could have won by a bigger margin.

Bayern took the lead early on through former Tottenham striker Kane, who then missed the golden chance to make it 2-0 as Josip Stanisic’s run into the box was not tracked until Joao Palhinha – who moved on loan from Bayern to Spurs last week – brought him down.

Kane stepped up but blasted high over Guglielmo Vicario’s crossbar in a let-off for Tottenham, but the chances kept coming.

Kingsley Coman doubled Bayern’s lead on the hour mark after the hosts missed a series of great opportunities. 17-year-old Lennart Karl then extended the home side’s advantage with a first-timed curled effort from just outside the box before Jonah Kusi-Asare finished the rout with a stunning finish. Luis Díaz made his first start for Bayern after signing from Premier League champions Liverpool this summer.

Tottenham take on Paris St-Germain in the Uefa Super Cup next Wednesday in Udine before kicking off their Premier League campaign against Burnley at home on August 16.

For Bayern, they will play Grasshoppers in their final friendly before facing Stuttgart in the German Super Cup. They then begin the defence of their Bundesliga crown at home to RB Leipzig on August 22.

Thomas Frank will not have appreciated having such a difficult friendly arranged so close to the season’s start, with very little gained from the defeat.
