Bayern Munich failed to close the gap on Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen as they crumbled to a 3-2 defeat to struggling Bochum on Sunday.
Jamal Musiala gave the visitors the lead with his sixth goal of the season (14) but after a lengthy fan protest delayed proceedings, Bochum levelled when Takuma Asano found the bottom corner from Anthony Losilla’s pass (38).
Keven Schlotterbeck rose unmarked from Kevin Stoger’s corner to complete the turnaround before the interval (44) – and Stoger himself extended Bochum’s lead from the penalty spot after Dayot Upamecano was sent off for catching Schlotterbeck with an elbow inside the box (85).
Harry Kane set up a grandstand finish with a close-range finish (90+4) from Manchester United target Mathys Tel’s cross – his 25th Bundesliga goal of the season – but Bayern were unable to salvage a draw.
It means Leverkusen’s advantage at the summit remains at eight points after they battled past Heidenheim 2-1 on Saturday to equal a German record by going 32 matches unbeaten in all competitions. The result also moves Bochum up four places to 11th – to ease relegation fears.
