Kane double carries 10-man Bayern past Union Saint-Gilloise and into knockout stage

Bayern Munich top scorer Harry Kane struck twice in three minutes to carry his team to a 2-0 victory over Belgium's Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League on Wednesday and book their ticket for the knockout stage with a game to spare, Reuters reported. 

Man-of-the-match Kane headed in at the near post from a Michael Olise corner in the 52nd and added another goal from a 55th-minute penalty after he was brought down, to end a rare three-game goal drought in the competition.

The England captain, who now leads the scorers' list with seven goals, could have sealed his hat-trick in the 80th minute but hammered his second penalty on to the crossbar, according to Reuters.
