UCL: Ruthless Bayern Munich trounce Chelsea

Bayern Munich have secured a big advantage in thier quest to progress in the UEFA Champions League.

The reigning Bundesliga champions trounced Chelsea 3-0 on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge to put themselves in pole position for qualification for the quarter finals.

On what was a miserable night for Chelsea, they also lost Marcos Alonso having being sent off seven minutes from full-time.
