Bayern Munich trample over Arsenal

11:40 am on 8 March 2017

Bayern Munich have run riot with a second successive 5-1 hammering of Arsenal to reach European football's Champions League quarter-final 10-2 on aggregate at a stunned Emirates Stadium in London.

Trailing 5-1 from the first leg and striving to become the first team in Champions League history to overturn such a deficit, Arsenal led at halftime through a Theo Walcott goal.

But once Bayern equalled in the second half through a penalty and Arsenal skipper Laurent Koscielny was sent off, the Bundesliga leaders ran amok.

The defending champions Real Madrid moved into their seventh straight quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Napoli giving them a 6-2 aggregate score.
