Bayern Munich vs Lazio LIVE: Champions League result and reaction as Harry Kane scores crucial brace

Bayern Munich 3-0 Lazio (3-1 on aggregate): Kane scored his most important goals since arriving in Germany as Thomas Tuchel’s side avoided an upset and reached the quarter-finals

‘Bad loser’ Tuchel on Bayern future and crucial Lazio UCL clash

A crucial double from Harry Kane helped steer Bayern Munich through to the Champions League quarter-finals and avoid an upset against Lazio to keep their hopes of winning a trophy this season alive.

Bayern trailed Lazio after a 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Italy, but the German side turned the tie around at home through headers from England captain Kane and Thomas Muller before half-time.

Kane then added his second of the night, and 33rd Bayern goal in 33 appearances this season, to ensure Thomas Tuchel’s side progressed to the last eight ahead of the quarter-final draw next Friday.

Lazio barely offered a threat after going behind, but the Italian side missed a golden opportunity moments before Kane’s opener when Ciro Immobile headed wide from close range.

Bayern trail Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points in the Bundesliga, with 10 games remaining, while they are already out of the German Cup. The Champions League is therefore their best chance of avoiding a first trophyless season since 2012.
