'5-1 does not tell the story of the game' - Hummels believes sending off totally changed Arsenal outcome

The Bayern Munich centre-back does not feel that the 5-1 scoreline told the true story of the second leg in north London

Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels believes that the scoreline in Tuesday's Champions League win over Arsenal does not reflect the true nature of a competitive match.

Trailing 5-1 from the first leg, Arsenal took the lead at the Emirates before a controversial sending off and penalty turned the game around. Laurent Koscielny saw red for the Gunners after fouling Robert Lewandowski in the area, allowing the Polish striker to net from the spot.

The extra man allowed Bayern to take control of the tie and to record another 5-1 win to progress with a 10-2 aggregate scoreline.
