Harry Kane scored two to help Bayern Munich overturn a first-leg deficit against Lazio and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Rome, Bayern looked set for a frustrating night until Kane’s header levelled the scores on aggregate.
Long-serving Thomas Muller doubled the lead on the night with another header.
Kane made it 3-1 on aggregate from close range after Leroy Sane’s shot was parried into his path.

The quarter-final draw takes place on 15 March.
