Bayern continued their Spurs demolition on Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena in their final UEFA Champions League Group stage game.

Goals from Coman, Muller and Coutinho and gave the home side the win whiles Sessegnon rewarded Spurs with a consolation. Both sides were already assured a qualification in Group B after an unchallenging performance from Olympiakos and Crvena zvezda.

Kingsley Coman opened the scores on the 12-minute after intensive pressing from the Red men infront of a home packed crowd. Gnabry was the architect. He caught in off the right and played a pass inside towards Coutinho which deflected out to Kingsley Coman on the left of the box. He calmly opened up his body before slotting past Gazzaniga.

 

 

Six minutes later, Spurs were levelled through Ryan Sessegnon. It was an intricate passing move, which involved Eriksen, Dier and Lo Celso, which ended with Ryan Sessegnon receiving the ball on the left. The 19-year-old, on his first start for Spurs and first in the Champions League, marked the occasion with a superb finish, rifling the ball home at Neuer's near post to haul Spurs level.

Thomas Muller restored Bayern’s lead in the 45-minute with the involvement of Gnabry once again. The former Arsenal player was front and centre once again. He drove into the Spurs box, played a one-two and drilled a cross to the back post, which fell for Davies at the back post. The left back rattled a shot against the post but the rebound fell for Muller, who simply did not miss from the position. He slotted his 198th Bayern goal home.

 

 

Coutinho, who had been searching for a goal throughout the night, was finally rewarded with one after Spurs failed to heed the previous warnings and allow the former Liverpool man to cut inside onto his right foot. It curtained from there as he drilled a low effort past the outstretched Gazzaniga.

The draw for the last 16 will happen on Monday as the qualified teams determine which teams they will face in the knockout stage.
