Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Bayern Munich: Harry Kane injured as Jamie Gittens and Jamal Musiala score

Harry Kane limped off as his Bayern Munich side came from behind to draw 1-1 away to Borussia Dortmund.

Jamie Gittens’ superb first-half solo effort looked set to condemn Vincent Kompany’s side to their first Bundesliga defeat of the season, only for Jamal Musiala to equalize with five minutes remaining.

What had been a quiet first half in ‘Der Klassiker’ quickly came to life when Nico Schlotterbeck’s pass down the left found Gittens on the halfway line.

The England Under-21 international turned past Bayern right-back Konrad Laimer and drove into the penalty area before his blistering left-footed strike was too hard for Bayern’s Manuel Neuer to stop.

In the 27th minute, Gittens became the second Englishman to score in this game after Kane, who scored a hat-trick against Dortmund last season.

Bayern’s first half took a turn for the worse six minutes later when Bundesliga top scorer and England captain Kane was forced off before the break. He signaled to be substituted and moved cautiously, but not as a result of a tackle.

The visitors failed to really test Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel until the second period.

Thomas Muller, who replaced Kane, should have equalized shortly after the restart when he was set up at the end of Musiala’s gut run, but could not beat Kobel’s outstretched hand.

Musiala, who had gone close to equalizing from distance, eventually equalized when he headed in a cross from substitute Michael Olise.

The German midfielder’s sixth goal in 10 Bundesliga games this term kept Bayern’s unbeaten domestic record intact.

The draw kept them at the top, seven points ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen. However, Frankfurt will cut that lead to four points if they win at Heidenheim on Sunday.

A point for Dortmund moved them into fifth place above Freiburg on goal difference.
