Borussia Dortmund's Fabio Silva scored a late equaliser to earn a point in a thrilling game at Bayern Munich.
Three Lions captain Harry Kane, who became the first English player in 25 years to win the Ballon d'Or in midweek, led the line for Bayern but missed a penalty and was unable to get on the scoresheet.

Another Englishman, Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham - brother of Real Madrid's Jude - thought he had struck the first blow when he turned the ball past Jonas Urbig. But his goal was chalked off because Carney Chukwuemeka had fouled the Bayern goalkeeper.
Minutes later, Bayern's Konrad Laimer opened the scoring in Der Klassiker when he surged up the pitch and knocked in a rebound after having an initial effort saved.
Kane nearly added a second from the spot early in the second half but sent the penalty onto the crossbar.
That gave Dortmund a chance to get back into the game, and Serhou Guirassy equalised when he rifled a low effort past Urbig.

Bayern got back in front six minutes later when Dayot Upamecano nodded in from close range after Kane had headed a delivery back across the face of goal.
Kane hit the woodwork again when he struck the bar after being slipped through by Nathaniel Brown, but the flag went up anyway.
Fabio Silva then drilled a strike past Urbig to claim a point for the visitors in the 89th minute. Bayern's Lennart Karl hit the bar in the final minute of stoppage time, but the hosts weren't able to snatch the victory.
Bayern were led by assistant Aaron Danks once again with manager Vincent Kompany having been discharged from hospital this week , and the draw keeps them at the top of the Bundesliga, ahead of Dortmund on goal difference.
