Former Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry came back to haunt Tottenham, scoring four second-half goals as Bayern Munich embarrassed Mauricio Pochettino’s side 7-2 in the Champions League.
Tottenham had capitalised on a bright start when Son put them ahead in the 12th minute.
The South Korea forward, who was played onside by Niklas Sule, raced on to Moussa Sissoko’s pass and found the far corner despite goalkeeper Manuel Neuer getting a hand to the ball.
But the lead lasted less than three minutes as Kimmich struck a powerful effort from 25 yards to beat the dive of Hugo Lloris to equalise for Bayern.
Bayern took the lead on the stroke of half-time thanks to a superb finish from Lewandowski. The Poland striker picked up the loose ball at the edge of the area and swivelled to fire into the bottom corner to bring a breathless first half to an end.
Bayern then took full control and ripped Spurs apart in the second half with Gnabry the instigator.
The 24-year-old, who had spells in English football with Arsenal and West Brom, cut inside both Serge Aurier and Toby Alderweireld and emphatically finished past Lloris before beating the French goalkeeper again two minutes later with another crisp finish.
Spurs briefly threatened a comeback after Rose was felled by Coman in the penalty area. Kane converted from the spot and Pochettino threw on Christian Eriksen, Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela, but the Spurs cheers soon turned into jeers as they collapsed in the closing stages.

The visitors ran riot as Gnabry produced another clinical finish after latching onto Thiago’s through ball before Lewandowski added his second with an inch-perfect side foot finish.
With the Spurs fans heading for the exit, Gnabry then put the full stop on his, and Bayern’s, incredible night, producing another emphatic finish to increase the pressure on Pochettino and Spurs.
Victory leaves Bayern top of Group B and in pole position to top the group, but defeat leaves Spurs, who drew 2-2 with Olympiakos in their opener, with plenty still to do to if their Champions League campaign is not going to end before Christmas.
