Arteta's stars put on masterclass as Harry & Co take an Emirates beating

- JOHN CROSS

THEY have already stormed clear in the Premier League.

Now Arsenal are also top dogs in the Champions League after ending Bayern Munich's unbeaten start to their season.

It was one hell of a statement win and performance. Arsenal blew Bayern away to top the Champions League table after five straight wins. They were just too good as Arsenal revelled in a big European night at the Emirates to batter Bayern's vulnerable and leaky defence.

Declan Rice delivered a masterclass. The England midfielder dominated and enjoyed every minute of what must go down as one of his very best displays since joining Arsenal for £105million.

No wonder the Arsenal fans chant, "Declan Rice - we got him half price."

And they shouted even louder when Rice flew into a tackle on Bayern's former Tottenham captain Harry Kane and turned to the crowd to whip them up.
