A Mario Gomez treble ahs helped fire Bayern Munich to a comfortable 4-0 win over Romanian outfit CFR Cluj-Napoca in Group E of the Champions League.

The Germany international tapped home a loose ball in the 12th minute to get things started before doubling the advantage just over ten minutes later when he stabbed home after a Bastian Schweinsteiger header found him unmarked.
