Harry Kane scored twice in three minutes as Bayern Munich secured their Champions League round of 16 place with a 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise. The England captain's quickfire second-half double took his season tally to 34 goals, ending a three-game European scoring drought.

Bayern's victory, their sixth in seven UCL matches, propelled them back into second place in the league phase, three points behind leaders Arsenal. The German champions' 11-game unbeaten run continues, though defender Kim Min-Jae was sent off for a second yellow card.

Kane later missed a chance for a hat-trick when his penalty struck the post. Union SG, in their debut season at this stage, lost for the fifth time and look set to miss the playoffs. Both teams conclude their league-phase campaigns next Wednesday.
