Goal-a-Game Harry Kane Fires Bayern Munich Past Lazio
Bayern Munich 3-0 Lazio (3-1 on aggregate)
Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich beat Lazio 3-0 on Tuesday to progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Bayern had lost the first leg 1-0 last month but were totally dominant in Germany.
Kane leveled the tie on aggregate 38 minutes into Tuesday's second leg with an instinctive diving header from eight yards after Raphael Guerreiro had mishit a shot into his path.
Bayern then scored another headed goal just before half-time when Thomas Muller redirected a powerful shot from Matthijs de Ligt into the net.
Kane later made sure of Bayern's victory with a left-footed tap-in from close range after Leroy Sane's initial effort had been saved by Ivan Provedel.
