Arsenal delivered a statement performance in Europe, defeating Bayern Munich 3–1 at the Emirates Stadium to end the German giants’ winning streak and reinforce their status as one of this season’s Champions League contenders.

The Premier League side struck first in the 22nd minute through Jurrien Timber. Bukayo Saka’s inch-perfect delivery caused chaos in the Bayern penalty area, giving Timber the space he needed to rise highest and head Arsenal into the lead.

Bayern responded in the 31st minute. Serge Gnabry whipped a dangerous cross into the box, and 17-year-old Lennart Karl met it with a composed volley to level the score.

Arsenal, however, regained control after the break. In the 69th minute, Noni Madueke restored the lead with a clinical finish that shifted momentum firmly back toward Mikel Arteta’s side.

Madueke then sealed the win in the 77th minute. Spotting the winger racing toward goal, Manuel Neuer rushed out in an attempt to intercept, but Madueke dribbled past the veteran goalkeeper and calmly rolled the ball into an empty net to complete his brace.

The victory sent shockwaves across Europe, signaling Arsenal’s intent to compete deep into the tournament. With five wins from five matches, they remain the only team with a perfect record in this season’s Champions League group stage.
