<p>After missing a glorious opportunity to put his team 2-0 up in the first half, Kane's side found themselves  trailing 3-1 against their hosts. The England international managed to pull one back with his first goal in three matches when Mathys Tel poked the ball to him and he applied a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-s-trophy-dream-slips-further-away-consolation-goal-fails-mask-another-shocker-bayern-munich-striker-bochum-pile-more-misery-thomas-tuchel-side-bayer-leverkusen-now-full-control-bundesliga-title-race/blt96299d0099436d8b" target="_blank">simple finish from close range in the 87th minute to make it 3-2</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The goal is Kane's 25th in the Bundesliga in just his 22nd appearance in the German top-flight. That is the fewest games a player has ever needed to reach a quarter of a century of goals in the league. He beat the previous best mark of 25 games set by Erling Haaland when he was at Borussia Dortmund.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">25 - Harry Kane scored his 25th goal in his 22nd Bundesliga game - the fewest games any player has played in the competition to reach 25 goals.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The encounter between Bochum and Bayern was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chaos-bundesliga-bochum-bayern-munich-stopped-fans-protest-tennis-balls-harry-kane-worst-misses/blt96bc986364c23929" target="_blank">interrupted twice due to protests against potential foreign investment</a> in the league. Tennis balls rained down on the field from the stands in each half, resulting in the players being taken off the field for a period of time. The protests have been occurring in matches across the country in recent weeks.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Bayern have now lost three consecutive matches, having been beaten by league leaders Bayer Leverkusen last week and then going down 1-0 to Lazio in the Champions League. The weekend's results means Bayern are now eight points behind Xabi Alonso's team.</p>
