Arsenal Ends Bayern’s 18-Match Unbeaten Run With 3-1 Win to Take Group Lead

Set-piece superiority combined with a Neuer misjudgment defined the game, highlighted only by 17-year-old Lennart Karl’s equaliser for Bayern.

Overview

  • Jurrien Timber (22'), Noni Madueke (69') and Gabriel Martinelli (76') scored for Arsenal, with Lennart Karl (32') netting Bayern’s lone goal.
  • Bayern surrendered top spot in the Champions League group stage but remain on 12 points from five matches and still in range of direct last-16 qualification.
  • Arsenal repeatedly threatened from corners, capitalizing on a well-known Bayern vulnerability that produced the opener and sustained second-half pressure.
  • Manuel Neuer was criticized for positioning on the third goal after racing far from his area, continuing recent scrutiny of his decision-making.
  • Eintracht Frankfurt fell 0-3 to Atalanta after Jonathan Burkardt left injured, conceding three times in six minutes and putting their knockout hopes at risk.
