Arsenal maintained their 100 per cent record in this season’s Champions League by beating Bayern Munich.
The Gunners ran out 3-1 winners over the German champions thanks to goals from Jurrien Timber, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli.
Teenager Lennart Karl had levelled the game for Bayern before half-time, but Arsenal struck twice after the break to seal the win.
Mikel Arteta’s side are now top of the Champions League table after five games and are the only team to have won all their fixtures so far.
Standard Sport’s Simon Collings was at the Emirates Stadium to rate the Arsenal players...
David Raya 6
Bayern managed just two shots on target, one of which was their goal. Distribution was decent.
Jurrien Timber 8
Opened the scoring by flicking home Bukayo Saka’s corner. Defensively excellent, too. Very little came down his side.
William Saliba 7
A steady display from the Frenchman, who is having to step up and lead in the absence of Gabriel.
Cristhian Mosquera 7
Came into the team in place of Piero Hincapie and put in a solid performance. Kept Harry Kane quiet.
Myles Lewis-Skelly 5
A tough evening for the teenager up against Michael Olise. Caught out by a ball over the top for Bayern’s goal.
Eberechi Eze 7
Almost played as a No9 at times, with Mikel Merino dropping deep. Went close to scoring in the first half, but created Martinelli’s goal with a deft pass.
Martin Zubimendi 8
Snapped into tackles all night at the base of midfield. Helped Arsenal wrestle back control during the second half.
Declan Rice 9 | Star player
Rose to the occasion, as he so often does for a big game. Won the ball for the move that resulted in Madueke’s goal. A monster performance.
Bukayo Saka 7
Created the opening goal of the game with a corner that Timber headed home and his set-piece delivery was on point all night.
Mikel Merino 6
Dropped very deep and linked the play well, including one lovely move in the first half with Eze. Missed a great chance to score from a corner.
Leandro Trossard 6
Forced off before half-time with an injury. A blow for Arsenal given he has been in great form lately.
