Kane’s brace fails to secure win as Bayern are held to a draw by late Viking equaliser Wait, I should check the meaning. The original says Bayern were denied victory by a late Viking goal, with Kane scoring twice but it not being enough, and Bayern playing with 10 men. My version dropped the 10-man detail and changed “goal” to “equaliser” which implies a draw, which is not stated. Here is a faithful rewrite: Kane scores twice but 10-man Bayern are denied victory by late Viking goal

Herman Haugen scored a 90th-minute equaliser as Viking held Bayern Munich to a dramatic 3-3 draw in the Champions League, a result that will go down as one of the most famous nights in the club’s history.

Harry Kane scored twice and played a huge hand in the third goal, scored by Luis Díaz, as Bayern came from 2-0 down to lead late on. However, a needless red card for Michael Olise in the 73rd minute shifted the balance once again.

Shock start and first-half lead

Viking took a shock lead after only 70 seconds, when Gianni Stensness headed in from a corner. Seven minutes before the break, they struck again on the counter-attack, with Peter Christiansen finishing a superb move.

Kane leads the fightback

Kane pulled one back from the spot early in the second half after Haugen caught Joshua Kimmich in the box, a decision given after a VAR check. On the hour, Kane headed in Kimmich’s cross, making it nine straight Champions League appearances with a goal for the England captain.

Bayern were ahead after 71 minutes. Kane swept the ball into the path of Laimer, who squared for Díaz to finish, but Bayern could not hold on.

Late drama at the back post

With time ticking down, tireless Viking captain Zlotka Tripic sent in a cross, and academy product Herman Haugen rose at the back post. The ball went in off the defender’s shoulder, though no home fans cared about that.
