    Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich moved nine points clear at the top of the Bundesliga with victory over Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena.

    Aleksandar Pavlovic opened the scoring after 16 minutes with a shot on the volley from just outside the area which squirmed under the grasp of Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos.

    England captain Kane added a second soon after, heading in from close range.

    Kane netted his 28th Bundesliga goal of the season in the 68th minute when he picked up the ball on the outside of the area and bent a low strike past Santos.

    It was an eventful afternoon for the former Tottenham striker who gave away a penalty after catching Oscar Hojlund in the box.

    Jonathan Burkardt slotted the spot-kick into the bottom corner past Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig to give Frankfurt hope of a comeback.

    With four minutes remaining, Arnaud Kalimuendo benefitted from a lapse in concentration at the back for Bayern as Kim Min-jae’s clearance bounced off him and into the goal.

    The result means Bayern increase their lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund who play RB Leipzig later on Saturday (17:30 GMT) while Frankfurt remain seventh.

    Before the match began, Kane was honoured with a poster to celebrate his reaching 500 career goals for club and country last weekend against Werder Bremen.
