Arsenal beat Bayern Munich to seize Champions League top spot

Jurrien Timber heads Mikel Arteta's side in front from a corner after 22 minutes

Arsenal beat Bayern Munich for the first time in a decade to maintain their 100 percent record in this season's Champions League with a 3-1 victory sending them top of the group on Wednesday.

Jurrien Timber headed Mikel Arteta's side in front from a corner after 22 minutes only for Bayern teenager Lennart Karl to equalise in style before halftime.

Arsenal dominated the second half though and showed their immense squad depth as substitutes Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli scored the goals to make it five wins from five.

It proved a quiet return to north London for prolific Bayern striker Harry Kane as his side suffered their first defeat of the season in all competitions.

With Inter Milan dropping points, Arsenal are now the only team in the competition with a maximum 15 points and look all but assured of a place in the last 16.
