Roy Keane blasts 'average' Arsenal in brutal assessment of Bayern Munich loss: 'When Kieran Gibbs has the captain's armband, you're in trouble'

Roy Keane has given yet another withering assessment of Arsenal's continued troubles in the Champions League, after their 5-1 capitulation against Bayern Munich put them on the brink of another last 16 exit.

Alexis Sanchez cancelled out Arjen Robben's superb opener, but Robert Lewandowski's header restored the hosts' lead before two Thiago Alcantara strikes put the contest to bed.

Thomas Muller's late fifth rubbed salt into the wounds to send the Gunners tumbling to a seventh consecutive exit at this stage of the competition, and Keane was not surprised the scoreline reflected the gulf in class between the two sides.
