"He'll have to take responsibility obviously, he'll have to learn from it."
That was Harry Kane after Bayern München's 3-3 draw with Viking in Stavanger, where Michael Olise's second yellow card for throwing the ball at captain Zlatko Tripic changed the game. Kane had already scored twice, Bayern München had turned the deficit around with help from Luis Diaz, and then Herman Haugen's 90th-minute equaliser left them with a point.
Kane's reaction after the red card
Kane did not hide where he thought the problem lay. "It's a shame because obviously we have big games coming up in the Champions League now and he's going to be gutted to miss those games. But this is football. Sometimes mistakes can happen, it's life," he said after the match, then added: "We should have won the game with the second-half performance."
The result mattered less for Kane than the way it slipped away. Viking vs Bayern München was still level at 3-3 after Olise went off, but Bayern had been in control when the dismissal arrived. Kane's brace took him to three Champions League goals this season, while his overall run in the competition now stands at nine consecutive appearances with a goal.
Bayern's problem goes beyond one dismissal
Vincent Kompany had already been pointing to concentration errors, saying Bayern conceded after a minute and a half against Viking and after eight seconds against Augsburg. Max Eberl went further, calling it "too many mistakes" and saying that is not Bayern's level.
That criticism fits the wider issue. Bayern scored three in Stavanger, but still conceded three, and the late equaliser from Haugen leaves the red card as more than a one-off moment. Kane's message to Olise was about responsibility, but Bayern's own defending still has to hold up when the emotional part of the night has passed.
