Match Reports
Former Arsenal forward Serge Gnabry scored four times as Bayern Munich embarrassed Tottenham 7-2 in London, piling the pressure on under-fire Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs were comfortably the better side in the first half of the Champions League Group B encounter and took the lead early on, but they were made to rue their profligacy in front of goal, as a Gnabry-inspired Bayern taught woeful Spurs a lesson after the break.
Son puts Spurs deservedly in front, though Bayern were ahead by the break, with Joshua Kimmich and Robert Lewandowski netting fine strikes.
That was only the beginning, however, as Bayern went on to decimate their hosts – Gnabry scoring twice in two minutes, with Harry Kane's penalty nothing more than a consolation.
Gnabry added another two either side of Lewandowski's second in the final 10 minutes as Spurs were humiliated.

Match Events
12' GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Bayern (Son)
Alli forces a terrible error from Tolisso who surrenders possession to Sissoko 25 yards out and he rolls Son through on goal, where he lashes a low shot across Neuer and into the net!
15' GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Bayern (Kimmich)
The away side let their experience show there - they didn't panic after conceding early on. A careful passing move ends with Vertonghen hacking clear to Kimmich 25 yards out, where he shimmies past Sissoko before bending an unstoppable drive low into the corner past Lloris!
45' GOAL! Tottenham 1-2 Bayern (Lewandowski)
Spurs switch off after Bayern howl for a penalty from a clumsy Aurier challenge on Tolisso, but Lewandowski remained alert and swiveled on the edge of the area before powering a crisp low shot into the bottom corner!
53' GOAL! Tottenham 1-3 Bayern (Gnabry)
Gnabry zooms past Aurier down the right flank and advances all the way into the box before beating Alderweireld and smashing a low shot across a helpless Lloris and into the net! Spurs have a lot of work on to save this game now.
55' GOAL! Tottenham 1-4 Bayern (Gnabry)
Spurs look completely shocked by the third goal and they immediately give the ball away 20 yards out. It results in a three on three and Tolisso astutely rolls Gnabry in behind down the left and he clinically fires across Lloris once more to put the German side into an almost unassailable lead!
61' Penalty Goal! Tottenham 2-4 Bayern (Kane)
Kane rarely misses from the spot and this time the English striker confidently steps up and places the ball into the right-hand corner, just beyond Neuer's despairing dive!
83' GOAL! Tottenham 2-5 Bayern (Gnabry)
It was a wonderfully inventive pass from Thiago to set that up but Aurier certainly helped with some poor positioning there. Any chance of a comeback looks to be extinguished now.
87' GOAL! Tottenham 2-6 Bayern (Lewandowski)
Spurs surrender possession in another awful position and Coutinho simply flicks the ball out towards Lewandowski who rifles another electric finish past Lloris!
88' GOAL! Tottenham 2-7 Bayern (Gnabry)
This is getting ridiculous now! Bayern win the ball back from the restart and a sharp move makes its way to Gnabry 25 yards out and he exuberantly leathered a spinning effort into the far corner leaving Lloris helpless again!
