Nevertheless, during their Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen, the former Arsenal player had the last laugh.
.
Harry Kane scored for Bayern early on thanks to a mistake by Granit Xhaka.
Kane has scored four goals in four Bundesliga matches
.
Xhaka performed admirably to earn Bayer Leverusen one point.
Kane scored his 300th career club goal in the first seven minutes, continuing his stellar play since joining the German champions.
After a flick on from a corner, the England captain nodded the ball in from close range.
Additionally, Xhaka was in charge of marking him at the back post.
Kane was free behind the Swiss midfielder and given a straightforward assignment after he was caught ball-watching.
Alex Grimaldo, fortunately for Xhaka, equalized the score immediately after with a magnificent free kick into the top corner.
But deep into stoppage time, VAR intervened and handed Alphonse Davies a soft-looking penalty, breaking Bayern’s hearts. Exequiel Palacios successfully converted the ensuing penalty kick to square the game at 2-2 and keep both teams’ unblemished league beginnings.

With 98 Touches, 68 Accurate Passes, 2 Accurate Long Passes, 1 Successful Dribble, 4 Won Duels, 3 Clearances, 5 Interceptions, and 2 Won Tackles, former Gunner Granit Xhaka put on a superb display to halt Harry Kane’s delight.
Similar to Kane, Xhaka joined his club in the summer after spending seven years in North London with Arsenal.
Since then, he has started each of Leverkusen’s four Bundesliga games this season. Leverkusen is managed by Xabi Alonso, a former Liverpool player.
