AS ROMA 1 BAYERN MUNICH 7: Bundesliga Champion Runs Riot In Rome

Bayern Munich produced a scintillating display to batter Roma 7-1 and take firm control of UEFA Champions League Group E on Tuesday. The five-time European champions were expected to face a difficult task in Rome, but Pep Guardiola's men made a mockery of those predictions as they ran riot.

The terrific Arjen Robben started the rout before Mario Gotze - who scored twice in Bayern's 6-0 demolition of Werder Bremen on Saturday - doubled the advantage.
