Arsenal underlined their growing status as major European contenders with a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium, a statement performance that maintained their 100% record in the Champions League and sent them top of the league phase table.
Jurrien Timber headed the hosts in front from a Bukayo Saka corner before 17-year-old Lennart Karl levelled for Bayern. Substitutes Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli then sealed the win after the break, handing Vincent Kompany's previously unbeaten side their first defeat of the season.
Set-piece supremacy strikes again
Billed as a meeting of two of Europe's best, the game initially saw Bayern dominate possession in the opening 20 minutes as Arsenal were restricted to two set-piece efforts that were flagged offside. The breakthrough still came from a dead ball in the 22nd minute, when Timber leaped highest at the near post to head in Saka's corner.
