  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The English striker will be cursing himself after he was booked for holding onto the ball after he had committed a foul. Kane appeared unsure that he had given away the foul to begin with and can count himself unlucky to have found himself in the referee's book. The caution represents his fifth yellow card of the season and means he is suspended for one match – a potential title-deciding game against RB Leipzig.

Yet he may have to watch his side win the title from the sidelines.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Many expected Kane to win his first trophy in his debut season at Bayern. The club had won 10 league titles in a row when Kane joined, but an invincible campaign by Bayer Leverkusen ensured his wait for a trophy dragged on yet further.
