Harry Kane was made to wait to clinch the first silverware of his career after RB Leipzig’s dramatic late equaliser in a 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga leaders were seconds away from moving to an insurmountable 11 points ahead of defending champions Bayer Leverkusen when Yussuf Poulsen struck in the fifth minute of added time.
With suspended top scorer Kane watching from the stands, Bayern had overturned a two-goal half-time deficit thanks to Eric Dier, Michael Olise and Leroy Sane.
But Champions League-chasing Leipzig, who had looked set to spoil the party following first-half goals from Benjamin Sesko and Lukas Klostermann, had the final say courtesy of a clever dinked finish from substitute Poulsen.
Kane had made his way pitchside in anticipation of joining in the celebrations before being left crestfallen by the last-gasp leveller.
