BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Harry Kane returned to Bayern Munich’s starting lineup for its Champions League game against Aston Villa on Wednesday but couldn’t prevent the German giant from losing 1-0.
The England international played despite limping off the field late in Bayern’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
Substitue Jhon Duran sealed the win for Villa with a brilliant goal in the 79th minute — firing first time from around 25 yards
Kane, who had scored 10 goals in seven appearances before Wednesday, hit four in Bayern’s 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb in its opening Champions League game. But he was denied a latest goal when his header was saved by Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in stoppage time.
