Arsenal 3-1 Bayern: Timber, Madueke & Martinelli seal deserved win for Gunners

Noni Madueke scored his first goal for Arsenal as the Gunners put three past Bayern Munich to maintain their 100% record in the Champions League.

Arsenal were dominant from the beginning of the game and took the lead in the 22nd minute when Jurrien Timber headed in Bukayo Saka's corner - the 10th goal that Arsenal have scored from a corner this season, the most of any side in Europe's top five leagues.

Bayern grew into the match after going behind and equalised 10 minutes later when Joshua Kimmich hit a crossfield pass to Serge Gnabry and the former Arsenal forward played the ball across the area for 17-year-old Lennart Karl to score from close range.

It was the first goal that Arsenal had conceded in the competition this season but it did not stop them making it five wins from five.

England winger Madueke put the Gunners in front when substitute Riccardo Calafiori fired a powerful cross into the area for him to help into the net.

The Gunners then wrapped up the win when Sunday's north London derby hero Eberechi Eze clipped a pass over the defence and Gabriel Martinelli knocked the ball around goalkeeper Manuel Neuer - who was in no man's land - to hand Bayern Munich their first defeat of the season.
