Play by play
Arsenal were simply outclassed tonight. They have a mountain to climb now. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you again next time.
Really, this tie felt over at half-time. Two away goals means that Arsenal need to score three in Munich if they are to progress.
- 92'
<B>FULL-TIME. ARSENAL 1-3 BAYERN</B>. A deserved win for the Germans and Arsenal didn't turn up in the first half. Two goals saw the heads drop, and although they came back in the second half, there was not enough quality from Arsenal on the night.
- 92'
Vermaelen is caught up field, and Robben runs into the space, but Cazorla and Rosicky are tracking back very well.
- 92'
They choose to knock it around again though, and don't have much urgency it seems.
- 90'
Rosicky earns a foul and Arsenal can get it into the box for the final time.
- 90'
Three minutes of injury time to play.
- 90'
Cazorla hits a cross, which is knocked away, but Sagna hammers it into row Z with his left foot on the rebound.
- 89'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Lahm brings down Vermaelen just outside the box and that's another booking.
- 88'
Tiredness is setting in now. Arsenal look beaten, but if they could just pinch another goal they would be back in the tie.
- 86'
Arsenal passing the ball well again and trying to find an opening. Giroud turns on the edge of the box, but can't get his shot away. A long ball is never going to see Walcott get on the end of it, and the chance dies.
- 85'
Rosicky in space, turns, but then he can't get the ball through to Giroud. The Gunners have just been lacking that final piece of quality to get themselves another goal.
- 85'
Robben dangerous on the counter. He cuts inside and shoots, but the shot comes off Koscielny.
- 84'
Nice floated ball to Walcott from Wilshere, but Dante comes across and clears the danger. He has impressed tonight, but hasn't been tested perhaps as much as he should have been.
- 83'
Rosicky finds Walcott in the box, but he was offside. Wenger tucked up in his winter coat, seems to be offering no solutions for his men.
- 82'
Gustavo with a thunderbolt that deflects off Gomez. Szczesny pushes it out and Gomez has another go, which flies well over the bar.
- 82'
Hard to see where Arsenal can come back now, as they have been rocked by the third goal. Muller is still running the show for Bayern and the fresh Gomez is causing issues.
- 80'
Wilshere the catalyst again and he runs into the box to hammer a shot on goal. Neuer gets his hands to it and pushes it up in the air to collect it.
- 79'
Conceding three goals away from home and it's looking a tough task for Arsenal now.
- 78'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Mandzukic off and Gomez comes on to inflict more pain.
- 77'
Eventually the ball looped into the net and might even go down as a Sagna own goal. When it rains, it pours.
- 77'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Mandzukic scores. Robben opened the space, and Lahm made the cross. The striker poked it home, but only after a big deflection.
- 76'
Cazorla tries a backheel, but it doesn't find his team-mate. A little too clever there from the Spaniard.
- 76'
There is certainly a feeling that Arsenal can get back into this now. Bayern have gone quiet and the Gunners are playing with more conviction.
- 76'
Giroud does his defensive duty well, to get in front of the cross from Robben at the near post. Really impressive start from the Frenchman.
