Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich 3–1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night to claim their biggest victory of the season so far.
Everyone had this Champions League match on their must-watch lists. Both sides were undefeated coming into Matchday 5 only separated by goal difference. Arsenal were riding momentum from thrashing Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby, while Bayern demolished SC Freiburg.
The Gunners’ two defining traits of the season—set-pieces and depth—were the catalysts to go top of the league phase. The only stain on the performance was conceding their first goal of this stage.
Arsenal were favoured to win the Champions League coming into the game. The result against Bayern might just have them start believing they can go all the way.
