COLOGNE, NOVEMBER 25 (IANS): England skipper Harry Kane scores as Bayern Munich beat FC Koln 1-0 on Friday to go top of the table.
It was Kane's 18th goal in 12 league matches as he became the only Englishman to score 18 times in a Bundesliga season. Kane finished from close range in the 20th minute after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's shot was cleared off the line. Choupo-Moting, Sane and Kingsley Coman missed chances to double Bayern's advantage
Bayern leads Bayer Leverkusen, who play their match on Saturday, by one point as a result of the victory. If they triumph at Werder Bremen, Leverkusenâ€"the only other undefeated team in the German Bundesligaâ€"will take the top rank back.
England's record goalscorer now has 22 goals in 17 appearances in all competitions for Thomas Tuchel's side.
Davie Selke had a rare chance for Cologne, who drop to the bottom of the table, but failed to beat Manuel Neuer with a header at the back post.
Coman hit the crossbar in the second half, and the hosts then offered little as an attacking threat as Bayern took the victory.
