Gomez scores his second after Hart saved from Van Buyten's header
Mario Gomez scored twice as Manchester City were given a rude awakening by Bayern Munich in the Champions League
.City had two penalty appeals in the first half but could not deal with Bayern's swift attacking play.
Gomez poked in on 38 minutes after Joe Hart saved Franck Ribery's fierce shot and the forward reacted quickest to another Hart stop before half-time.
City were outclassed thereafter and Roberto Mancini said that substitute Carlos Tevez refused to play.
The Italian boss explained that Tevez stayed on the bench after he planned to introduce the Argentine in the second half.
That startling admission capped a miserable night for City as they arrived in Germany following an unbeaten start to the season.
But they come up against an impressive force in Bayern, who extended their run to 10 wins on the trot, having scored 28 goals in the process and conceding none.
Gomez's goals were his 10th and 11th of the season but only Hart's excellence prevented that total being extended, as the four-times European Cup winners flexed their muscles.
