Arjen Robben gives the thumbs-up to Bayern’s performance in London<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the second year running the visitors won at Arsenal thanks to goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas M\u00fcller after each team had missed a penalty.<\/p>\n

FC Bayern M\u00fcnchen took control of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against Arsenal FC with a commanding performance in London, Toni Kroos and Thomas M\u00fcller scoring after each side had missed a first-half penalty and home goalkeeper Wojciech Szcz\u0119sny had been dismissed.<\/p>\n

Szcz\u0119sny was sent off on 37 minutes for bringing down Arjen Robben, and though David Alaba missed the resulting spot kick, Kroos’s 54th-minute strike followed by M\u00fcller’s 88th-minute header gave Bayern victory. Alaba’s failure was not the only penalty miss of the night, Mesut \u00d6zil’s eighth-minute effort having been turned away by Manuel Neuer for Bayern.<\/p>\n

The match started at a frenetic pace, Kroos finding his range with a stinging third-minute shot that Szcz\u0119sny tipped away at full stretch. Bayern had beaten Arsenal here at the same stage last season en route to lifting the trophy at Wembley, but did not have everything their own way here. Ars\u00e8ne Wenger’s surprise selection of Yaya Sanogo in place of Olivier Giroud almost paid off immediately as the 21-year-old drew a low save from Neuer.<\/p>\n

A minute later Arsenal had an even better chance. \u00d6zil cut inside down the left and was clipped by J\u00e9r\u00f4me Boateng. The playmaker got up to take the penalty but shot centrally and his Germany team-mate Neuer reached up and tipped the ball away as he dived to his left.<\/p>\n

The game began to find a more settled rhythm with Bayern enjoying more of the ball, though Arsenal were dangerous on the break. Sanogo, making just his second Arsenal start, sent Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain racing clear but Neuer was alert to the danger and cleared.<\/p>\n

On 38 minutes the momentum shifted back to Bayern when Szcz\u0119sny tripped Robben after he had latched onto Kroos’s chipped pass and was red-carded. On came \u0141ukasz Fabia\u0144ski to face the spot kick, but like \u00d6zil, Alaba could not make the most of his opportunity and fired against the foot of the post.<\/p>\n

Bayern were not to be denied for long. Fabia\u0144ski held one low attempt from Robben but had no chance on 54 minutes when Kroos curled a first-time right-foot effort into the top-left corner after being teed up by Philipp Lahm on the edge of the area.<\/p>\n

Bayern were pressing Arsenal deeper and deeper. On 64 minutes Fabia\u0144ski palmed away Robben’s strike then Mario G\u00f6tze headed wide. With two minutes left the pressure finally told as M\u00fcller nodded in Lahm’s cross. There was still time for Kroos to hit the upright but the damage had already been done ahead of the second leg on 11 March.<\/p>\n
