Overview
- Jurrien Timber opened the scoring with a near‑post header from a Bukayo Saka corner before 17‑year‑old Lennart Karl equalised for Bayern.
- Arsenal controlled the second half as Madueke restored the lead and Martinelli added a third after Manuel Neuer rushed out and failed to clear.
- The result leaves Arsenal as the competition’s only team on the maximum 15 points, effectively securing a path toward the last 16 under the league‑phase format.
- Bayern suffered their first defeat of the season in all competitions, with Harry Kane largely contained by William Saliba and Cristhian Mosquera.
- Mikel Arteta praised his side’s performance against what he called Europe’s best team, though Leandro Trossard’s first‑half injury gives Arsenal a short‑term concern before the trip to Chelsea.
