"Arsenal laid down a statement at the Emirates as they ended Bayern Munich's unbeaten start to the season with a 3-1 win in the Champions League to move top of the 36-team table and maintain their perfect start in the competition. Jurrien Timber nodded the Gunners in front from a set-piece before 17-year-old wonderkid Lennart Karl levelled before half-time. Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli secured the victory for Mikel Arteta's side in the second-half as the hosts dominated proceedings after the break."
"The temptation before kick-off was to label this the meeting of an irresistible force and an immovable object. And that seemed evident from the off, the tempo of the game starting in electric fashion. Bayern were straight out the blocks, dominating possession with the impressive 17-year-old Lennart Karl - playing behind Kane in the number 10 role - at the heart of the action."
"However, it was the hosts who would open the scoring after 22 minutes. And it came from a familiar source; Bukayo Saka's inswinging corner flicked in by Timber at the near post after the Dutchman beat Manuel Neuer to the ball. It was a moment that cranked the noise levels inside the Emirates up a few notches. The goal shifted momentum as Arsenal began to grown into the match."
