"Nine minutes into the second half, the visitors took a shock lead courtesy of an own-goal from Joshua Kimmich when he inadvertently redirected a cross from the left past Manuel Neuer. However, that was to be the only celebration on the evening for the visitors. A goal apiece from Serge Gnabry, Lennart Karl, and Jonathan Tah in the space of 12 minutes secured the win for the reigning German Champions."
"In the 69th minute, Karl eventually got his deserved goal and gave Bayern the lead when he superbly controlled a cross from Konrad Laimer before smashing home with his weaker right foot. In scoring that goal, the teenager set a record for being the youngest player in Champions League history to score in three consecutive games. It was an all-round impressive performance from Karl on the evening."
