Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the Champions League with a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium, sending them to the top of the group. Jurrien Timber opened the scoring from a corner, but Bayern's 17-year-old Lennart Karl equalised before half-time. Substitutes Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli struck in the second half to seal the win.
Harry Kane, who had admitted to extra joy in scoring against Arsenal, was kept quiet as the Gunners dominated after the break. Bayern, who had won their first four group matches, suffered their first defeat of the season.
Mikel Arteta praised his team's consistency and energy. “We’ve certainly been very, very consistent in the competition,” he said. “It’s just the beginning.” The win sets up a Premier League clash with second-placed Chelsea on Sunday.
