Harry Kane has finally ended his trophy drought at Bayern Munich with a memorable win in the Visit Malta Cup.
Somewhat inevitably, the site of his long-awaited securing of silverware was at his former club Tottenham Hotspur, where he famously spent 14 trophy-less years.
But an emotional Kane shirked the opportunity to get his hands on a rare trophy, declining to lift the Visit Malta Cup out of respect to his old side.
The centre forward came off the bench on his return to north London today to help guide the German side to a 3-2 victory.
Former Spurs defender Eric Dier also made a second-half appearance and claimed a winners' medal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after he joined Kane in being presented a special commemorative gift by ex-player Ledley King before the match.
It was former captain Kane's first return to his old club, where he scored 280 goals, but he made little impact, taking just one shot in a quiet display.
But his Bayern side got the job done nonetheless, overturning a first-half deficit by exploiting an increasingly concerning Spurs set-piece weakness.
The hosts had taken the lead inside the first minute as winger Dejan Kulusevski exchanged a one-two with Brennan Johnson before finding the net in this pre-season encounter.
Dayot Upamecano then punished Spurs for a string of missed chances when he turned in Mathys Tel's header from close range to make it 1-1 on 15 minutes.
Vincent Kompany's side then raced into the lead through a Serge Gnabry finish before club legend Thomas Muller rubbed in the misery for Tottenham by scoring from a free-kick whipped into the box.
Kulusevski provided some late hope after he turned in Lucas Bergvall's clever ball but it was not enough to deny Kane the sweet, yet unfamiliar, test of victory on a warm and humid August day.
