Harry Kane scored a free kick from 30 yards to break the 40-goal mark for the second time in his career.

If Bayern Munich can beat Real Madrid to reach the Champions League final, it means they have seven more games from this stage to complete their tally.
He needs nine more goals if he is to break Robert Lewandowski’s Bundesliga record of 41 goals in a single season, which he managed to break in 2020/21.
Bayern’s next match is against Eintracht Frankfurt before they host Real Madrid on April 30 for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Kane enjoyed their ‘incredible’ 1-0 win over Arsenal on Wednesday and relished winning one against his former rivals from his Tottenham days.
Champions League qualification for Bayern is all but sealed. They are ten points ahead of fifth-placed Borussia, who have played a game more, but Dortmund have just five games remaining and the Bundesliga is on course to clinch five Champions League places next season anyway.
