Kane tops Holland, Bayern further down

German champions Bayern Munich's woes continue. This time, Thomas Tuchel's team lost 3-2 to Bochum, who are at the bottom of the league. It was Bayern's third successive defeat in all competitions. With this loss, the current champions fell far behind in the Bundesliga title race. Their gap with Leverkusen at the top is now 8 points.

Harry Kane stepped up on a personal level as Bayern slipped further down the points table. The English forward scored his 25th goal in his 22nd game in the Bundesliga. It is the fastest 25-goal streak in the history of German football's top flight. Earlier, 25 goals in 25 games were scored by Erling Holland, who played for Borussia Dortmund and now plays for Manchester City in the Premier League.

After defeats to Leverkusen in the league and Lazio in the Champions League, Bayern fans were hoping for a win against Bochum tomorrow. Bochum was 15th out of 18 teams with 21 points from 21 matches. But Bayern could not beat the shaky team.

Bayern took the lead through Jamal Musiala's goal in the 14th minute, but Buchum increased the gap with 3 consecutive goals in the 38th, 44th and 78th minutes. Later, Ken reduced the gap by scoring in the 87th minute of the match. In the 76th minute, Dayat Upmekano was sent off after seeing a red card and Bayern reduced to 10 men. Upamecano also saw a red card against Lazio in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Bayern have 50 points in 22 matches despite losing two straight league matches, while Leverkusen have 58 in the same match. Bayern coach Tukhel admitted after the match that Bayern's trophy chances in the 34-match league were almost over. But last season we kept faith until the last day. I got an award for it. This time I will do my own work.

In response to the question whether the third consecutive loss was due to the pressure of the previous match, Tukhel's answer was, 'Every loss has a pressure.'
