SUMMARY

Alexis has scored a crucial away goal in Bavaria to pull us level at the interval after Arjen Robben curled home a brilliant opener.

The Bayern Munich forward cut in from the right and found the top corner in ruthless fashion, before we were awarded a penalty after Laurent Koscielny was tripped in the box.

Alexis’ spot kick was saved by Manuel Neuer, but he fired in the equaliser in the ensuing melee in the hosts’ area.

SETTING THE SCENE

With an almost full complement of players to choose from, Wenger had some big decisions to make with his team selection - with the headline news Granit Xhaka’s return to the starting line-up.
