HARRY KANE’S chances of winning a maiden trophy took another huge dent last night.
The England captain, 30, joined Bayern Munich in a £104million deal last August in a bid to break his duck.

Kane made his debut from the bench in the German Supercup on the day he signed, but couldn’t prevent his new side from losing 3-0 to RB Leipzig.
He was then rested for both of Bayern’s DFB Pokal matches, with Thomas Tuchel‘s men shockingly crashing out at the hands of third-tier Saarbrucken.
Last Saturday the reigning champions fell five points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen after losing 3-0 to Xabi Alonso‘s unbeaten side.
Kane and Co kicked off their Champions League knockout campaign against Lazio in the Italian capital last night.
They were left with much work to do in the second leg by Maurizio Sarri‘s men after losing 1-0 courtesy of Ciro Immobile‘s penalty after Dayot Upamecano was sent off.
While Kane’s chances of winning a first team trophy have been left hanging in the balance, the striker is likely to collect another individual accolade.
He has been on fire in Germany, scoring 24 goals in just 21 Bundesliga appearances.
The former Tottenham star is seven goals clear of second-placed Serhou Guirassy and looks to set to add another golden boot to the three he won in the Premier League and one at the 2018 Fifa World Cup.

Kane has tormented Arsenal down the years, scoring 14 goals against the Gunners.
So their fans have been enjoying his trophy struggles extending to Germany.
Some eagle-eyed observers have noticed that the Bundesliga’s top scorer trophy appears to resemble a cannon much like the Arsenal badge, to Gunners fans’ glee.
One wrote on social media: “So, Harry Kane could finish this season as the Bundesliga’s top scorer, but still without a championship trophy to his name…
“And the funniest part – Have you seen what the award for being top scorer in Germany actually looks like?”
While a second gushed: “That’s absolutely amazing!”
Another added: “This is brilliant.”

Kane remains determined to achieve his season goals despite a testing week.
Speaking to TNT Sports after last night’s game, he said: “Really tough week. I thought the game today in the first half we started well.
We have to find more energy, confidence

“We had some clear chances. One myself, Jamal (Musiala) had one, Josh (Kimmich) had one from the edge of the box.
“And in these games they’re big moments and we weren’t able to take it in the first half.
“But the second half was disappointing. We came out with less energy, less confidence. Too many balls given away and ultimately we got punished.
“Once you go down to ten men it’s always difficult to find a way back into the game but I think for us now we have to find it amongst ourselves. We have to find more energy, confidence.
“We’re still in the race for the Bundesliga, still in this tie and they come to our stadium in a few weeks so we have to keep fighting and look forward and try to turn our momentum around.”
