Problems for Arsenal. Koscielny will have to off and there are now concerns over Ospina.
48'
A high ball over the top towards Lewandowksi almost catches Arsenal out, but Koscielny reaches it with a brilliant touch. However, it comes at a cost. He's now struggling.

One for Gunners fans to be happy about.

KICK OFF! Bayern restart the contest.
End of 1st Half
45+1'
HT: Bayern 1 Arsenal 1. Sanchez grabs the away goal to pull Arsenal level after Robben had opened the scoring with a belter. The hosts were on fire early on but the Gunners have found a way back into it and have had some decent chances of their own on the break.
45+1'
SAVE! Arsenal counter. Ozil gets free on the left of the area but sees his low drive beaten away by Neuer. Great stop.
45'
JUST WIDE! Alonso whips a devilish free kick to the far post where Hummels guides a header inches off target. Bayern so close to restoring their lead.
44'
Alaba hangs a lovely cross up for Lewandowski who flashes a free header over the top.
43'
Sixth time lucky?

DID YOU KNOW? The only previous Champions League head to head between Carlo Ancelotti and Arsene Wenger was in the 2007/08 Champions League round of 16. Arsenal beat Ancelotti's AC Milan 2-0 on aggregate.
41'
Class!
40'
Wenger will be pretty satisfied at this point. Bayern looked imperious in the first 20 minutes or so. The game has a different complexion now though.
39'
Arsenal counter down the right. It's cut back to Xhaka who sees a fizzing shot from the edge of the box fly straight at Neuer.

How Twitter reacted to Robben's opener.
37'
It was a clear spot kick for Arsenal despite Bayern's protests. Lewandowski even held up his hands to acknowledge he caught him.
36'
Thiago pings a wonderful ball towards the right byline for Vidal, who manages to reach it on the stretch. The midfielder hooks back for Lewandowski who guides his header wide. Big chance for the Pole. He usually gobbles them up from close range.
35'
Bayern screaming for a penalty as Costa's cross hits Bellerin on the arm from close range. The referee waves away the appeals.
