Arsenal thumped Bayern Munich 3-1 in a clash of the English and German league leaders on Wednesday to maintain their perfect record in the Champions League this season.
The Gunners dominated the second half after 17-year-old Lennart Karl pulled the Bundesliga team level, with Noni Madueke restoring Arsenal’s lead and fellow substitute Gabriel Martinelli taking advantage of a huge blunder from goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Bayern started the match at the Emirates top of the Champions League table, just above the Gunners, with both teams having won four games out of four.
The game took time to come alive, but the Gunners went ahead in the 22nd minute when Jurrien Timber headed home a Bukayo Saka corner, with a flailing Neuer unable to intercept.
The goal underlined Arsenal’s relentless brilliance from set-pieces.
