Harry Kane struck twice, including a stoppage-time winner, to guide Bayern Munich to a 2-1 victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday, snapping a three-game losing run in all competitions and staying eight points off leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

The embattled Bavarians, desperate to end a losing run of two consecutive Bundesliga defeats along with one in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Lazio, concluded a turbulent week on a high after having decided to part ways with coach Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season.

They should have gone in front in the first half when Kane hit the post with a fifth-minute header and came close again with a bicycle kick.

Leipzig enjoyed the better start after the break, testing keeper Manuel Neuer repeatedly before Kane drilled in on the quick break after good early work from Jamal Musiala.

Leipzig, battling for a top-four finish and a spot in next season's Champions League, had two golden chances with Benjamin Sesko but both times Neuer denied the Slovenian.

The keeper was beaten in the 70th when Sesko's shot took a slight deflection to wrong-foot him.

Kane, however, came to the rescue once more with his 27th league goal of the season, drilling in a powerful low drive to snatch the three points.

Atletico held

Atletico Madrid's poor La Liga run continued on Saturday as they were were held to a 2-2 draw by bottom side Almeria thanks to a brace by 19-year-old Argentine forward Luka Romero.Angel Correa's close-range effort in the second minute handed Atletico the lead but Romero levelled the score with a fine strike in the 27th minute.

Rodrigo De Paul put the visitors back in front with a deflected shot in the 57th minute, but Romero fired in another equaliser into the top corner seven minutes later to earn Almeria a point.

Earlier, Raphinha, Joao Felix, Frenkie De Jong and Fermin Lopez scored to earn Barcelona a 4-0 win over visitors Getafe.

Unbeaten run

Brest midfielder Mahdi Camara scored a hat-trick to earn the Ligue 1 chasers a 3-0 win at Strasbourg on Saturday and extend their unbeaten league run to 12 games.

The win moved France's surprise package to 43 points, 10 adrift of runaway leaders Paris St Germain. It also meant they equalled their longest unbeaten streak in the top flight set in 1990.
