Two second-half goals in less than three minutes from Serge Gnabry and another from iconic forward Robert Lewandowski earned Bayern Munich a squashing 3-0 victory over Chelsea in their Champions League last 16, first leg on Tuesday.

The German champions, proved their dominance over their hosts piled on the pressure from the start of the match.

Chelsea, whose home form under Frank Lampard, has been mediocre all season, and their will have to contend with an even worse away match after Marcos Alonso was sent off for violent conduct after he caught Lewandowski in the face with his arm.

The first goal that Chelsea suffered in the 51st minute involved a one-two between Gnabry and Lewandowsi, who cut back from the edge of the area when Chelsea's retreating defense expected him to shoot, leaving Gnabry with an phenomenal finish from less than 10 meters.

Seconds later, Lewandowski and Gnabry exchanged passes halfway down the pitch before Gnabry raced away to score the second further breaking down Chelsea.

Lewandowsi, clearly enjoying himself, got among the scorers in the 76th minute after a stirring run from Canadian full back Alphonso Davies.
