Bayern were dominant early on as Thomas Muller struck from Dante's pass before Mario Gotze scored following a corner. David Silva pulled a goal back from close range after Jesus Navas's cross. Aleksandar Kolarov equalised with a penalty after James Milner was tripped before Milner's fine finish won it. Bayern suffer Brit panic Bayern's last three home defeats in European competition have come against English clubs following defeats by Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea It was an amazing turnaround from Manuel Pellegrini's side, who almost earned the 4-2 victory they needed to go through as group winners as Alvaro Negredo had a late effort saved by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. But after Bayern scored twice in the opening 12 minutes, the fact City fought back will give them confidence as they progress to the last 16 for the first time. Finishing with 15 points is a huge return and this performance might finally silenced concerns about their away from. City have won all three of their Champions League away games this season, but only five in all competitions. City and Bayern had already qualified before this game but Bayern boss Pep Guardiola was clear that finishing second in the group was "not an option". But his team looked vulnerable as they suffered only their third defeat of 2013 with Silva and Milner excellent throughout. It started so differently as City looked nervous after an early a mix-up between Joleon Lescott and recalled goalkeeper Joe Hart. And after five minutes the visitors were undone in the simplest manner as Dante's diagonal pass caught Kolarov napping and Muller nipped in behind the City captain and finished past Hart. Hart had to save Dante's header and turned Ribery's effort onto the post after another Lescott mistake before Bayern went 2-0 up from the resulting corner. Mario Mandzukic had time to shoot towards goal and his effort found Gotze, who also had space to stroke the ball past Hart from close-range. By this stage, City were rocking and the only question was how many goals Bayern would score. Hart had made four touches, and two of them were to pick the ball out of the net. Matters appeared to worsen when Micah Richards was replaced at right-back by Pablo Zabaleta after pulling a hamstring but the introduction of the experienced Argentine seemed to galvanise the visitors. Shortly after a decent passage of play, City grabbed a goal back. Silva, on his return to the team after a calf injury, tucked in after Milner had headed Navas's right-wing centre back across goal. Bayern reminded City of their power when Gotze was denied by a decent Hart save. After a frantic first half, the second began at a more sedate pace and City continued to improve as Edin Dzeko tested Neuer with an 18-yard shot. Given the first 15 minutes, the game then flipped on its head in the space of three minutes either side of the hour mark. Silva was the architect as he played in Milner, who was brought down by Dante in the penalty area. Kolarov sent Neuer the wrong way from 12 yards. Spanish midfielder Silva then set Navas free down the right and Milner curled a beautiful shot in at the back post after Bayern's Jerome Boateng had missed the cross, Substitute Negredo could have made it a perfect night when Neuer saved his shot after a Dante mistake but whatever the group placings, this was a incredible way for City to prepare for hosting Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday. interview "post-match interview" "post match interview" "match interview" "post interview" post-match "post match" "pre match interview" "pre-match interview" "pre-match press" "press conference" "wenger interview" "moyes interview" "rodgers interview" "mourinho interview" "pellegrini interview" arsenal "manchester united" liverpool chelsea 2013 "manchester city"
