Arjen Robben admitted Bayern Munich were "brutally punished" by Sergio Aguero as Manchester City fought back to win 3-2 in their Champions League clash at the Etihad Stadium.

Bayern were 2-1 in front and looking comfortable heading into the final five minutes of the match, despite playing for more than an hour with 10 men.

But Aguero pounced on two defensive errors to turn the match around, completing his hat-trick in the process and ending the German side’s 100 per cent start to the competition.

A huge compliment

“We’ve lost possession twice and been brutally punished,” Robben said on the Bayern website. “It’s a real shame because we played so well. We deserved something.

“I want to pay the team a huge compliment and we can be proud. We never went looking for a hiding place and we were excellent in possession even though we were a man down.”

Loss of focus

Robert Lewandowski, who scored Bayern's second goal, added: "We've made two or three mistakes in the last couple of minutes and Manchester City scored twice.

“I think we played really well even though we only had 10 men for so long. We played so well until the 80th minute, but unfortunately we couldn’t keep it going right to the end.

“We weren’t as focused in the last few minutes. It’s a shame.”
