Two camps who were getting their respective Champions League adventures underway on Wednesday night, Bayern Munich clinched a thrilling 3-1 victory against Chelsea at the Allianz.

Vincent Kompany’s men opened the scoring after 20 minutes as Chelsea defender Trevor Chalobah unfortunately turned into his own net following a driven cross from former Crystal Palace ace Michael Olise.

Bayern doubled their advantage just seven minutes later as the red-hot Harry Kane slotted home from the penalty spot and sent the Allianz home support into overdrive.

Although playmaking talisman Cole Palmer might have produced a sweeping finish just seconds after Kane’s converted spot-kick, Bayern largely dominated after returning from the half-time break and were a worthy winner on home soil.
