Harry Kane erupted for three second half goals to power his team to a 3-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal finale and his colleagues over at VfB Stuttgart, Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirović, could only watch in amazement.

“We all wanted to win, but we didn’t manage it. Nevertheless, we can be proud of what a brutal season we’ve had. We wanted to make it ugly.

But then you can’t leave Harry Kane alone; he puts those things away ice-cold. We kept up for a long time. We managed to cause Bayern problems for long enough.

There are worse things than losing to Bayern. We were the complete underdog,” said Undav (as captured by FCBayern. com ).
