Mikel Arteta praised his Arsenal players after they outplayed Europe’s “best team” Bayern Munich 3-1 on Nov 26 to pull clear at the top of the Champions League table.

The Gunners dominated the second half against the six-time European champions at the Emirates Stadium to finish as worthy winners.
Bayern’s 17-year-old midfielder Lennart Karl cancelled out Jurrien Timber’s opener late in the first half.
But Noni Madueke restored Arsenal’s lead with his first goal for the club and fellow substitute Gabriel Martinelli took advantage of a huge blunder from goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The Gunners now have five wins out of five in the Champions League and are well on course to qualify automatically for the last 16.
They are three points clear of a clutch of teams, including Bundesliga leaders Bayern, who travelled to London with four wins out of four in the Champions League.
