Bayern celebrate remarkable season with dominant win over Köln
Bayern celebrate remarkable season with dominant win over Köln The game briefly threatened to be close. Rene Wagner's side limited the damage in the first half, with Bayern ahead only 3-1. Köln were not entirely out of the game, but Harry Kane had other ideas.
In the 69th minute, the Englishman struck from range past a diving Marvin Schwäbe to clinch three points and a comfortable win on the final day. Nicolas Jackson came off the bench to add to the scoresheet as Bayern won 5-1 at the Allianz Arena to close out their Bundesliga season. Vincent Kompany's side picked up a remarkable 89 points, with 122 goals in just 34 games.
Bayern started the festivities early. Joshua Kimmich found Harry Kane in the box, and Kane volleyed home to make it 1-0. Only three minutes later, Kimmich rolled the ball forward on a free kick, and Kane tucked it away in the bottom corner to make it 2-0 to the Bavarians.
Köln didn’t give up easily, though. In the 18th minute, Said El Mala dispossessed Jamal Musiala in his own half and went on an incredible solo run, calmly tucking it past Manuel Neuer to make it 2-1. Bayern promptly doubled their advantage again just four minutes later.
Lennart Karl played a smart one-two with Konrad Laimer, and his low cross found Tom Bischof at the edge of the area. Bischof powered it past Marvin Schwäbe to make it 3-1, with the 20-year-old scoring his third goal of the season. Bayern nearly added a fourth minutes later.
