"Bayern Munich's winless streak for the 2025/26 season thus far was snapped by Arsenal fair and square. Mikel Arteta's side were the deserved 3-1 winners at the Emirates in the Champions League on Wednesday night and are also more than deserving of being top of the Champions League table and Premier League table. It was, quite arguably, Europe's two best teams locking horns in North London, but on the overall balance, Arsenal could have won by a larger margin and Bayern were ultimately made to pay for some of the mistakes they made at the back and in transition."
"Lennart Karl's 32nd minute goal that levelled things at 1-1 after Jurrien Timber's 22nd minute header seemed like it was going to make things very interesting for the remainder of the match, but Manuel Neuer faced an onslaught of pressure from the Gunners in the second half. Unanswered goals from substitutes Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli sealed Bayern's fate of losing their undefeated streak and Arsenal out-shot Bayern, having registered 8 shots on target to Bayern's 2. Neuer was miles off of his line in the buildup to Martinelli's goal, but Bayern was pressing to find an equalizer and there were always going to be spaces open just waiting to be exposed by the Premier League leaders"
"Of course today hurts and we wanted to win, but when you look at the table, if we do our homework in the remaining three games we should be comfortably through. It's all in our hands,"
Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 at the Emirates, ending Bayern's winless streak in the 2025/26 campaign and reinforcing Arsenal's status atop both domestic and European tables. Jurrien Timber opened the scoring with a 22nd-minute header before Lennart Karl equalised in the 32nd minute. Arsenal dominated the second half as substitutes Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli scored the decisive, unanswered goals. Arsenal registered eight shots on target to Bayern's two, and Manuel Neuer was exposed on the build-up to Martinelli's strike. Joshua Kimmich urged perspective, noting Bayern remain strong domestically and can still progress in the Champions League.
