"The hosts opened the scoring in the 22nd minute through a set-piece. Bukayo Saka delivered a vicious cross from the left corner, which was headed past Manuel Neuer by Jurrien Timber. Arteta's men got better after scoring the opener, consistently winning the ball higher up the pitch. They came close to doubling the lead in the 31st minute, when Eberechi Eze's shot was just wide off the post after some impressive link-up play with Mikel Merino."
"Die Roten managed to recover and eventually got the equalizer a minute later. Joshua Kimmich played a brilliant long aerial pass from deep to find the run of Serge Gnabry on the right flank. The German forward pulled a cutback to find the run of Lennart Karl. The teenager expertly finished the move to bring Bayern back in the game. The first half ended with a few decent half-chances for both sides, but Arsenal looked more likely to get the next goal of the game."
