Harry Kane scored again after two consecutive failed matches, thereby setting a new personal milestone. However, the British striker’s record was overshadowed when the Gray Tigers lost to Bochum.
Bayern Munich suffered a third consecutive defeat on Sunday, losing 2-3 to Bochum in the Bundesliga as things continued to get worse for coach Thomas Tuchel. The former Chelsea captain is not expected to lose his job immediately, but three defeats to Leverkusen, Lazio and Bochum put their season at risk of ending in disaster.
The 2-3 loss to Bochum left Bayern 8 points behind leading team Leverkusen and facing the prospect of ending their streak of 11 consecutive seasons winning the Bundesliga. And yet, the ambition to win the Champions League is also at risk of disappearing after losing to Lazio in the first leg of the 1/8 round.
In last night’s loss to Bochum, striker Kane ended a streak of two consecutive unbeaten matches with a goal in the 87th minute but also missed a number of very good opportunities to score more goals and potentially regain points for the team. Bayern. This goal was Kane’s 25th goal in the Bundesliga this season after only 22 matches, an achievement that helped him become the player with the fewest appearances to achieve a total of 25 goals in history.
Returning to the match, despite the loss, coach Tuchel said that Bayern’s performance was much better than the previous two losses.
”Such defeats are unfair,” Tuchel told DAZN. ”There were a lot of things going against us today. The loss was not like the last two losses. Everything that could go wrong went wrong today. We must respect our opponents today. We performed differently than at Leverkusen and in Rome”.
When asked if Bayern can win the Bundesliga this season, Tuchel said: ”At the moment, it’s not very realistic. But last season, we also hoped until the last second and it worked out”.
