The men of Thomas Tuchel They maintained the pulse that Bayer Leverkusen launched a few minutes before the start of their match. Xabi Alonso’s team struck down Eintracht (3-0) and put pressure on their biggest rival for the title, who could not lose to end the day seven points behind so far. intractable Leverkusen.
Tuchel dealt again with a quite high number of casualties, with names out of play like Gnabry, Coman, Goretzka, Kimmich, Sarr or Mazraoui. He had to recover from the defeat that Eintracht gave him a week ago and he did it with ease against a good team with dangerous men like Guirassy or Undav.
Kane’s initial goal helped, as he barely took two minutes to open the scoring after taking advantage of a sensational pass from Sané, the other man of the match. The German midfielder created a lot of play and was key in breaking Stuttgart’s lines, unable to generate almost anything during the 90 minutes. Manuel Neuer was practically just another spectator.

The Munich team did not blame him, as in the second act they continued at their pace until they finished sinking Stuttgart.
Was Kane, ten minutes after the restart, who practically sealed the match with his twentieth goal of the season in the Bundesliga and number 24 in all competitions. The English striker finished off a long free kick with a header Kim Min Jaewho would later score the third and final goal in the 63rd minute.

Stuttgart had a good resume with only three defeats and a creditable fourth place with a chance of overtaking Bayern in the standings. However, they ended up defeated by a solvent team in which the Kane’s finishing ability made the difference.
