Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal : Mesut Ozil and Alex Iwobi go missing as Gunners Bow down again
Arjen Robben was given time and space on the edge of the box and the Dutch star found the top corner with one of his infamous curled strikes.
After a period of substantial pressure the Gunners were handed a lifeline when Laurent Koscielny was caught in the box by Robert Lewandowski.Alexis Sanchez saw his initial effort from the spot saved by Manuel Neuer, but the Chilean’s blushes were saved as he was able to fire home the rebound.
