Arsenal had to win against Bayern, but after their recent Champions League form, few would have expected them to see off a formidable Pep Guardiola side.
Yet after having just 27% of the possession in the entire game, Arsenal somehow came away with the valuable three points they needed to kick start their European campaign.
Arsenal had 27% possession tonight which was better than the 20% they had last time Bayern visited the Emirates.

Goals from Olivier Giroud and Mesut Özil gave Arsenal fans the world over a memorable night, but the result also helped Arsene Wenger’s men record another impressive statistic.
Arsenal are the only club to have beaten Guardiola's Barcelona AND Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Take that haters.
