Mikel Merino's header was just a whisker wide, and Cristhian Mosquera's point-blank attempt was somehow saved by Manuel Neuer. Bukayo Saka also had a chance, but Neuer's toe saved the day, only for the rebound to come straight to Saka - who was just a backstep away from scoring. These chances set the stage for Arsenal's opening goal.

Riccardo Calafiori's perfect cross set up Noni Madueke's goal, as the Italian's vision paid off. Madueke fired home from close range, giving Arsenal the lead again. Bayern pushed forward in response, but Arsenal's counter-attack proved fatal, with Gabriel Martinelli sealing the win with a composed finish, rounding Neuer and slotting into an open goal.
