UCL: Arsenal, Bayern win as Man City surrender 3-0 lead to draw

Arsenal and Bayern Munich secured victories in the UEFA Champions League but Manchester City squandered a three-goal lead to settle for a draw.

Arsenal got back to winning ways in the competition with a commanding 5-1 victory over Sporting at Estadio Jose Alvalade.

Goals by Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhães, Bukayo Saka, and Leandro Trossard made a light walk of Gonçalo Inácio’s effort for the hosts.

The result means Arsenal move up to seventh in the Champions League table while Sporting are a place behind them, with both sides on 10 points.

In Germany, Bayern Munich boosted their hopes of a top-eight finish in the league phase of the competition with a 1-0 victory over Paris St-Germain.

Defender Kim Min-jae scored the only goal seven minutes before the interval to condemn the French side to yet another defeat as they remain winless in the Champions League since September.
