Forward Harry Kane scored once in either half to guide German champions Bayern Munich to a 3-1 victory over England's Chelsea in their Champions League opener on Wednesday.

The England striker scored Bayern's second goal with a 27th minute penalty after an own goal by Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah had put the hosts in the lead in the 20th.

Chelsea briefly rallied, with Cole Palmer pulling one back just two minutes later, but Kane, who has already scored five goals in three Bundesliga matches so far, struck again with a clinical low finish in the 63rd to settle the hosts' nerves.

Despite a quiet second half, Palmer put the ball in the net again in the 90th but his effort was offside.
