Harry Kane injured in Bayern Munich’s draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany expressed optimism that Kane's injury was not severe, as they prepare for their German Cup last-16 match against holders Leverkusen on Tuesday.

"He (Kane) says it's not too serious. Let's hope so," said Kompany with the 31-year-old set to undergo scans.

Bayern's seven-point lead can be cut to four when second-placed Eintracht Frankfurt play Heidenheim on Sunday. 

Dortmund went back above Freiburg, who beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-1 on Saturday, into fifth place but remain 10 points behind the leaders.

This Klassiker was a meeting between the teams with the best home and away records in the Bundesliga, and always promised to be an entertaining contest. 

Bayern started the game on top but Dortmund steadied the ship and took the lead in the 27th minute through Gittens' superb individual goal. 

Dortmund captain Nico Schlotterbeck spotted the run of Gittens, whose stepover left Konrad Laimer in his wake. His searing pace kept him clear of Laimer down the left flank and he finished expertly past Manuel Neuer.

It was a moment of brilliance from the Englishman and a repayment to coach Nuri Sahin for the faith he has shown in the 20-year-old, handing him 14 starts already this season.

It was also the first goal Bayern had conceded since October 23, breaking a run of clean sheets that had stretched back eight games in all competitions.  

Bayern's problems were compounded five minutes later with the loss of Kane but Neuer kept the Bavarians in the game keeping out a Marcel Sabitzer shot with his right leg just after the hour mark.

Bayern controlled much of the second half but could not convert their ball superiority into goals, until Bayern's best player on the night Musiala secured a point. 

Leroy Sane's free-kick struck the Dortmund wall, Sane found Michael Olise, whose pinpoint cross was nodded in by Musiala.

"We're happy to have come back, I think we deserved it," said Thomas Mueller, Kane’s replacement from the bench.
