In a high-stakes European clash between unbeaten Champions League leaders, Arsenal secured a commanding 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich at the Emirates. Jurrien Timber opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, powerfully heading home a Bukayo Saka corner. However, Bayern responded quickly when 17-year-old Lennart Karl finished a slick move orchestrated by Joshua Kimmich to level the score before halftime.
The second half belonged entirely to the relentless Gunners. After mounting pressure and several crucial saves from Manuel Neuer, Arsenal regained the lead through substitute Noni Madueke, who converted a cross from fellow substitute Riccardo Calafiori. The win was sealed late on when Neuer committed a massive error, rushing out of his area and allowing Gabriel Martinelli to bypass him and calmly slot into an empty net. Home fans delighted in taunting former Spurs rival Harry Kane, though both clubs remain well-placed for automatic qualification to the last 16 phase.
