Bayern strike late to avoid shock defeat at Augsburg
Harry Kane provides two assists to help Bayern Munich salvage a late draw at Augsburg but the draw means the German champions miss the chance to move top of the Bundesliga.
Harry Kane contributed two assists as Bayern Munich were held to a 2-2 draw by Augsburg in a chaotic Bundesliga match. The game, which took place at Augsburg's WWK Arena, saw Augsburg score first through Robin Fellhauer just eight seconds into the match, setting a new Bundesliga record for the fastest goal. Bayern equalized shortly after the break with Ismael Saibari, but Augsburg quickly regained the lead through Rodrigo Ribeiro.
Nathaniel Brown secured a point for Bayern with a close-range finish after impressive play by Kane in the 80th minute. This was Bayern's first defeat at home en route to the Bundesliga title last season, as they previously lost 2-1 to Augsburg. Bayern's season started poorly, with Luis Diaz playing the ball back to Manuel Neuer from kick-off, leading to Fellhauer's rapid goal.
The video assistant referee controversially ruled out a Diaz scissor-kick as offside, denying Bayern an early lead. Despite Bayern having two clear chances to score beyond Augsburg's goalkeeper Finn Dahmen, both efforts were disallowed for offside.
