News: Bayern’s ongoing improvement thrills Guardiola

Mesut Ozil has slammed the match officials who disallowed his goal during Arsenal’s 5-1 defeat at the hands of Nayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.

The Gunners could not land a glove on the Bavarians and needed a wonder-goal from Olivier Giroud to score their consolation. “We weren’t at the races”, admitted Wenger.

Only goal difference is keeping Arsenal behind leaders Manchester City heading into the derby and Cech knows the players can not go into that game still thinking about their humbling defeat in Germany.

Cazorla should have added a second Arsenal goal minutes later, as Francis Coquelin found the midfielder in a good position, only for the former Malaga man to miss the target. At the break the game was sealed with a 3-0 advantage.

The Blues left it late. The Brazil worldwide Willian scored the victor from a free kick seven minutes from time.

However, Bayern remained unimpressed and continued to press as Lewandowski came close twice before Mueller rewarded Bayerns dominant performance at the 29th minute.

Muller rifled the first of his goals via the shin of Gunners captain Per Mertesacker and the outstanding Alaba effectively ended the contest just before half-time when he curled in from 25 yards.

Porto are leading with 10 points after beating Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-1. That would help Chelsea who could qualify with all three points from their trip to Israel.

“I have said “boys we always have to adapt to how the opponents play”,” Guardiola added. Let him work.’ It was a fantastic feeling.

Bayern boss Pep Guardiola has insisted his side will be looking to win the game rather than play out a mutually beneficial draw and Cech is happy to let other results take care of themselves. “It didn’t happen last week against Liverpool but it happened tonight against Kiev”.

Roma earned a 3-2 home win over Bayer Leverkusen, which rallied from two goals down to tie before captain Omer Toprak was shown a red card for pushing Mohamed Salah inside the area, prompting the penalty that Miralem Pjanic converted for the victory. Second place will be a straight battle between Gent and Valencia.
