Kane penalty moves Bayern four points clear at top

Harry Kane scored the only goal as Bayern Munich restored their four-point lead at the top of the German Bundesliga with a 1-0 win at Borussia Monchengladbach.

The England captain converted from the penalty spot on 68 minutes after Lukas Ullrich had pushed Michael Olise in the box.

It was the 31-year-old's 15th Bundesliga goal of the season and moved him ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush to the top of the division's scoring charts.

Defending champions Bayer Leverkusen had cut Bayern's advantage to a point with a 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund on Friday.

Vincent Kompany's side enjoyed 78% possession in the first half but could not find a way past a stubborn home defence.

Leon Goretzka volleyed just wide when well placed in the area, while Thomas Muller's first-time effort from close range drew a superb reaction save from Moritz Nicolas.

Gladbach were brighter after the break and should have opened the scoring when Tim Kleindienst met Rocco Reitz's cross, but somehow headed over from five yards out.

The decisive moment arrived when Olise chested down Kingsley Coman's left-wing cross at the far post and went down under a challenge from Ullrich.

The referee pointed to the spot and Kane sent Nicolas the wrong way for his sixth successful penalty from six attempts for Bayern this season.

Kleindienst headed just over from a corner as Gladbach pressed for an equaliser.

But as the hosts pushed forward they left openings at the other end, with the impressive Nicolas saving superbly from Goretzka, Alphonso Davies and Serge Gnabry to keep the score at 1-0.

A sixth defeat of the season keeps Gladbach in 10th, three points behind fifth-placed RB Leipzig.
