For 74 minutes, Harry Kane was relatively quiet. You probably know how the rest of this report will read.<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich\u2019s match-winner. Again. Thomas Tuchel may have accepted leaving Turkey with a point.<\/p>\n
His No 9 was having none of it; first he struck the German side\u2019s decisive second goal before putting his team’s third on a plate for Jamal Musiala, who scored in the 79th minute to kill off galant Galatasary.<\/p>\n
Kane\u2019s impact for the German champions has been profound; this the latest chapter in one of the most unforgettable \u2018hit the ground running\u2019 stories in recent memory.<\/p>\n
Eleven goals in 12 matches since arriving for Tottenham is some return.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Harry Kane scored and registered an assist for Bayern Munich in their 3-1 win over Galatasaray<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The England captain notched his 11th goal in 12 matches since joining the Bundesliga giants<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He later set up Jamal Musiala to secure the victory for Bayern in Istanbul to continue his side’s perfect start in the Champions League<\/p>\n
In contrast, the night won\u2019t be so memorable for Wilfried Zaha. His first ever Champions League start at Manchester United went like a dream, the former Crystal Palace scoring at Old Trafford in his side\u2019s shock victory.<\/p>\n
Here against Bayern, he and his side were dealt a ruthless lesson in European smash-and-grabs.<\/p>\n
Because for much of this game, Galatasaray were the superior force.<\/p>\n
But this is exactly what elite clubs like Bayern do. They ride the storm, take the blows – and leave with the win.<\/p>\n
Bayern\u2019s 100 percent start to their Champions League campaign will see them, barring an almighty capitulation, through to the knock-out stages.<\/p>\n
United, ahead of their clash against Copenhagen, would have believed that they can haul Galatasaray back.<\/p>\n
Neither Kane nor Zaha made a lasting imprint in the first half; Kane starved of quality possession while Zaha fed of scraps out on Galatasaray\u2019s left.<\/p>\n
Munich took an eight minute lead to silence the deafening noise of the notorious Turkish crowd, Kingsley Coman slotting past Fernando Muslera following Leroy Sane\u2019s pass.<\/p>\n
Credit to the home side, though. They are made of stern stuff nowadays; Erik ten Hag can vouch for that.<\/p>\n
Kerem Akt\u00fcrko\u011flu forced Sven Ulreich into an excellent save with an eye-catching acrobatic effort less than two minutes after Coman\u2019s opener before Mauro Icardi missed a virtual open goal moments later.<\/p>\n
Zaha was playing his part; his chasing down of a lost cause to save his side from conceding a goal kick drew huge cheers from supporters and his manager Okan Burak.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the host\u2019s pulled level, Icardi’s cheeky Panenka penalty deceiving Ulreich in the 30th minute after the Italian was initially fouled by Joshua Kimmich.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It proved to be a frustrating night for former Crystal Palace man Wilfried Zaha against Bayern<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kingsley Coman put Bayern ahead after only eight minutes, as he slotted home a Leroy Sane pass to silence the home crowd<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Galatasaray drew level before half-time, equalising through a Mauro Icardi penalty<\/p>\n
Zaha was first on the scene to embrace his team-mate, there\u2019d have been more of the same if Icardi had taken an excellent chance in first half stoppage time.<\/p>\n
The only real opportunity Kane had to flex his muscles were in the 43rd minute when his through ball into Sane\u2019s path should have culminated in Bayern retaking the lead.<\/p>\n
The second half nearly started almost identically to the first; but this time Sane failed to apply the sort of finish Coman earlier provided.<\/p>\n
Zaha was moved out to the opposite flank by Buruk as Galatasaray struggled to replicate their first half fluency.<\/p>\n
Indeed, the impression that Bayern had gears to shift through was becoming increasingly apparent.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Galatasaray were able to limit Kane to few opportunities in an impressive first half display<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, they were unable to contain him once Bayern shifted through the gears in the second half as he found the net from a Coman assist<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kane later set up Musiala to confirm Bayern’s third win from three group stage matches<\/p>\n
Sane missed another opportunity in the 63rd minute after connecting with Musiala before Kane took control.<\/p>\n
He owed his goal to the brilliance of Coman, who was having a super game down Bayern\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
The vision and composure Kane showed to set-up Musiala\u2019s goal that settled the night was exactly why Bayern have agreed to pay as much as they did for England\u2019s captain.<\/p>\n
By the end of the night both Kane and Zaha had been substituted; one was far happier than the other.<\/p>\n
