Arsenal stun Bayern to breathe life into their Champions League hopes

Arsenal have given themselves hope of getting out of their Champions League group after defeating German champions Bayern Munich at the Emirates.

A second half goal from Olivier Giroud and a finish from Mesut Ozil deep into stoppage time gave the Gunners a 2-0 win, after they had lost their first two group games to Olympiakos and Dinamo Zagreb.

In an enthralling match, both sides created numerous chances with this Manuel Neuer save from a Theo Walcott header catching the eye.

 

 

But Neuer made an error as a free-kick into the box reached Giroud who diverted the ball into the net on 77 minutes, before Ozil's late shot crossed the line.

The result still leaves Arsenal bottom of their group but only three points behind Bayern and Olympiakos who both lie on six points from three games.

Meanwhile, Chelsea had to settle for a 0-0 draw in Ukraine against Dynamo Kiev, although the Londonders hit the woodwork twice on the night. 

The Blues are third in their group, one point behind Dynamo and three behind leaders Porto.
