Arsenal maintained their flawless Champions League campaign with a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium. Substitutes Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli struck in the second half to seal a statement win for the Premier League leaders.
Jurrien Timber had headed Arsenal into an early lead, but Bayern equalised through 17-year-old Lennart Karl, who became the club's youngest goalscorer in the competition. The goal was the first Arsenal had conceded in this season's Champions League, having won their previous four matches without shipping a goal.
Madueke, returning from a two-month knee injury, scored his first goal for the Gunners from close range after a low cross from Riccardo Calafiori. Martinelli then capitalised on a mistake by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to wrap up the victory, tapping into an empty net.
The result leaves Arsenal top of the 36-team table with five wins from five, while Bayern suffered their first defeat in this season's competition. Home fans taunted former Tottenham striker Harry Kane throughout, chanting “Are you Tottenham in disguise?” and “Harry, what’s the score?” as their side moved a step closer to the knockout stages.
