Something rather unusual occurred after 68 minutes of Arsenal’s heavyweight clash with Bayern Munich: with the score at 1-1, Bukayo Saka was substituted. In any previous season under Mikel Arteta, such a decision would never have been made.

Arsenal continued their brilliant run of results by beating Bayern Munich 3-1 in the Champions League. Mikel Arteta's men are the only team with a 100 per cent record still in tact in Europe's top club competition.

LONDON -- You don't have to believe the bookmakers' odds. You can plead ignorance to Elo ratings. You might even choose to skip over all the tables that rank teams by how good they are at accruing points from football matches.

Arsenal beat Bayern 3-1 to replace the Bundesliga side at the top of the league phase table.

Joshua Kimmich says that Arsenal are not the best side Bayern Munich have faced this year, claiming the Germans’ 3-1 Champions League defeat was not a “football game.” The 30-year-old midfielder played 81 minutes of his side’s defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, the Bundesliga champions’ first loss in the Champions League this campaign.

The Gunners cemented themselves as Champions League favourites with a masterclass against perhaps the second-best side in Europe

Bayern wanted to keep their unbeaten-streak going - but Arsenal were just too good on the night and finally beat the team that looked unbeatable up to this point. Kompany was outcoached for the first time this season and his team was not able to match the high expectations put in them tonight.
