Bayern Munich saw out their final Champions League group stage match in style by easing past a much-changed Tottenham Hotspur at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern made a fine start to the game and took the lead early on when Kingsley Coman lashed home from close-range.

But the Bavarians were pegged back when 19-year-old Ryan Sessegnon scored his first Spurs goal in some style. Picking up the ball out wide, the youngster belted a low shot past Manuel Neuer at his near post.

But Bayern battled back and regained their lead when first-half substitute Thomas Muller – who replaced the injured Coman – tapped in.

And the Bundesliga champions added a third in the second-half when the outstanding Philippe Coutinho beat Paulo Gazzaniga from style. Here are our player ratings.
