"An absorbing game which ebbed and flowed throughout saw Bayern Munich's rising star Lennart Karl cancel out Jurrien Timber's opening goal from a corner before Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli sealed a deserved win for Mikel Arteta's side to maintain their 100% record in the Champions League so far and go top of the table. A place in the knockout stages now seems a mere formality."
"Harry Kane let it slip in the buildup to this match that scoring against Arsenal gives him a bit more joy than any other club. But the England striker barely had a sight of goal as a Bayern side that had also won their first four matches in the Champions League group stage were taught a lesson. Arteta resisted the temptation to make wholesale changes before Sunday's top-of-the-table clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge."
Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich 3-1, with Jurrien Timber opening the scoring from a corner and Lennart Karl equalising for Bayern. Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli scored to secure the win. Arsenal retained a perfect Champions League record and moved to the top of the group, making progression to the knockout stages appear likely. Harry Kane had little impact despite pre-match remarks about enjoying scoring against Arsenal. Mikel Arteta kept most starters, selecting Cristhian Mosquera in central defence and Myles Lewis-Skelly at left-back. Bayern dominated early possession but were ultimately subdued by Arsenal's performance.
