The full-time whistle is met with boos as Bayern Munich beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium to take control of their Champions League last-16 tie after the first leg. Arsene Wenger's side have been outclassed this evening, and have it all to do in Munich. Thanks for joining us.
90+2'
Bayern keep the ball in their half, and this match is over as Arsenal sit off their opponents.
90+1'
Wenger looks very glum on the touchline as he sees his side trail by two goals in this first leg - it will be a huge task for them on March 13 as they travel to Munich.

There will be three added minutes at the end of this second half as the travelling Bayern supporters make themselves heard once more.
89'
Cazorla takes the resulting set piece from the left, but it's cleared comfortably by Dante from inside the six-yard box.

Lahm is now booked as he rather cynically tugs and hauls down Vermaelen as the Arsenal man is poised to cross into the box from the left.
87'
Wilshere does superbly to dispossess Martinez in midfield, and he continues to battle for everything.
86'
That Giroud miss could prove costly for Arsenal, as the hosts had the momentum when he failed to beat Neuer from close range.
85'
Cazorla continues to demand the ball out on the left, but he is often finding himself outnumbered, and has yet to find a killer delivery.
84'
Robben cuts in from the right on his left foot but his low shot is into the shins of Koscielny. Bayern have fresh legs in key areas now.

Walcott races in behind Dante once more, but it was a rather desperate run as he is ruled offside.
82'
Arteta is penalised for a petty foul on Van Buyten, and it's all a bit scrappy at the moment.
81'
Gomez loses his composure as he looks to follow up from a Gustavo shot, with Szczesny parrying the ball into his path out on the left.
80'
Neuer does well to deny Wilshere, who again is the man trying to drag Arsenal back into the match with a driving run and low shot.

That's Mandzukic's final act as he is replaced by Mario Gomez.
78'
It was a very strange goal as the ball was played in behind Mandzukic, and he stuck out a boot to send the ball looping high into the back of the net.

GOAL! Bayern restore their two-goal lead as Mario Mandzukic pounces to flick the ball in, rather fortunately, from Lahm's low cross from the right byline! It's a scrappy finish with the ball looping in, but Bayern now lead 3-1!
76'
Arsenal continue to have chances in this second half, and this could go either way.
75'
Cazorla flies down the left at pace, but Lahm intercepts the ball brilliantly as the midfielder looks to get a cross into the Bayern box.

Heynckes makes another change as Luiz Gustavo comes on to replace the excellent Kroos. Arsenal will be relieved to see him depart.
