Fans excited as Granit Xhaka and Harry Kane recreate the battle between Arsenal and Tottenham in Germany but ex-Gunner star has last laugh

HARRY KANE made it four goals in four games for Bayern Munich on Friday… thanks to an error from his old North London derby foe Granit Xhaka.

However, the former Arsenal star had the last laugh during their Bundesliga clash with Bayer Leverkusen.

Granit Xhaka’s error allowed Harry Kane to score early on for Bayern

Kane has scored four goals in four Bundesliga matches

Xhaka had a great performance to bring 1 point to Bayer Leverusen

Kane continued his fine form since signing for the German champions as he scored inside seven minutes – his 300th career club goal.

The England captain nodded home from close range after a flick on from a corner.

And it was Xhaka who was supposed to have been marking him at the back post.

The Swiss midfielder was caught ball-watching, leaving Kane free behind him with a simple task.

Fortunately for Xhaka, Alex Grimaldo levelled the score shortly after with a superb free-kick into the top corner.

However, deep into stoppage time, Bayern hearts were broken when VAR intervened to award a soft-looking penalty against Alphonse Davies. Exequiel Palacios converted the resulting spot-kick to tie the match at 2-2 and maintain both side’s unbeaten league starts.

Like Kane, Xhaka is also a summer arrival at his club, having left Arsenal after seven years in North London.

He has since started all four Bundesliga matches this term for Leverkusen, who are managed by former Liverpool man Xabi Alonso.
