Overview
- Jurrien Timber headed in a Bukayo Saka corner before Bayern’s 17-year-old Lennart Karl equalised, then substitutes Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli sealed the win after the break.
- Arsenal are the competition’s only team on 15 points after five games, strengthening their seeding and leaving last-16 qualification looking all but assured.
- Declan Rice delivered a dominant midfield display that helped swing the second half decisively in Arsenal’s favour.
- Manuel Neuer’s misjudged charge enabled Martinelli to score into an empty net, while Harry Kane had a quiet night against William Saliba and Cristhian Mosquera.
- Mikel Arteta’s side registered their first win over Bayern in a decade and handed the Germans their first defeat of the season, with an injury check pending on Leandro Trossard ahead of Sunday’s trip to Chelsea.
