England striker Harry Kane exploited error-prone Chelsea to score twice in Bayern Munich\u2019s 3-1 Champions League win.<\/p>\n

Kane, 32, won and scored a penalty before sealing victory in the second half through a curled shot after a Malo Gusto mistake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier, Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah scored an own goal, while a returning Cole Palmer placed a shot into the top corner to pull one back on his 100th appearance in all competitions for the west Londoners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There were warnings in the second half as Michael Olise and Kane missed good chances when Chelsea \u2013 back in the Champions League for the first time since the 2022-23 season \u2013 were chasing an equaliser.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Gusto\u2019s misplaced pass led to Kane\u2019s curled shot in the 63rd minute that ended the match as a contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was one of a number of defensive mistakes, including the visitors switching off at a drop-ball situation before Chalobah\u2019s own goal and midfielder Moises Caicedo bringing Kane down in the box.<\/p>\n

Chelsea squandered a positive start, missing early chances through Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez, and Palmer also had a late goal ruled out for a narrow offside.<\/p>\n

The Blues were ultimately out-thought by a more streetwise and experienced Bayern side, who have won their opening Champions League match for the 22nd season in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, 39, played his 151st match in the Champions League. By contrast, Chelsea\u2019s entire 24-man squad had made only 117 appearances at this level before kick-off.<\/p>\n

Striker Nicolas Jackson, who joined Bayern on loan from Chelsea on deadline day, was introduced from the bench in the 91st minute without much chance to prove a point to his parent club.<\/p>\n

The west Londoners next welcome Benfica in the Champions League, which could see Jose Mourinho return to Stamford Bridge, with the Portuguese\u00a0expected to be appointed manager\u00a0this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
