Kane steers Bayern closer to Bundesliga title as Brits record mixed nights abroad

Goal runs the rule over British players abroad this week, highlighting Harry Kane's goal in Bayern Munich's 5-1 win over RB Leipzig that moved them closer to a second successive Bundesliga title, Jude Bellingham being booed by Real Madrid fans after a 2-0 win over Levante, and a series of other notable performances.

Kane calmly brought down an Aleksander Olise cross and smashed home Bayern's second, taking him to 21 Bundesliga goals from 18 appearances as the champions ran out 5-1; nearest challengers Borussia Dortmund are already 11 points off the pace. At the Bernabeu, Real's starting XI was met with whistles and the loudest jeers were aimed at Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham; Bellingham missed a big chance, lost possession 12 times and won four of 10 ground duels as Kylian Mbappe and Raul Asencio supplied the goals that papered over a below-par display.

Other British exports produced mixed returns: according to talkSPORT, Barcelona have opened talks with Manchester United over Marcus Rashford's future after he scored as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad; Mason Greenwood scored in Marseille's 5-2 win over Angers and has 20 goals across all competitions this season, with Marseille able to close the gap to leaders Lens next weekend and facing Liverpool at the Stade Vélodrome on Wednesday in their next big fixture.
