Bayern Munich continued their unbeaten start to the Champions League season with an assured 2-0 victory at Atletico Madrid.

Teenage star Lennart Karl had a first half to forget, but he redeemed himself by breaking the deadlock with a sneaky finish nine minutes after the restart.

The 18-year-old nipped in behind Robin Le Normand, snatched the ball from the Atletico defender, and chipped it effortlessly over Jan Oblak.

Konrad Laimer doubled the visitors' lead, blasting a ferocious strike over Oblak and into the roof of the net after he was picked out in space by Harry Kane.

Kane, playing in his first European match since winning the Ballon d'Or, had less luck in front of goal and missed the chance to make more history by equalling Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the longest Champions League scoring streak.

The England captain had scored in his previous 10 appearances, but he failed to trouble the Atletico goalkeeper - shanking an acrobatic attempt wide before drilling a low strike off target.

Oblak made a fine save to tip a deflected strike from Dayot Upamecano onto the crossbar, while Manuel Neuer had a quiet evening at the other end - facing just one shot on target from the hosts.

Bayern remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season, and they continue their campaign against Lille on Wednesday,y 25 November, while Atletico face Norwegian champions Viking on the same evening.
