Bayern Munich could not catch their groove in a rainy day in the Allianz Arena and they paid for it dearly as Arsenal fired on all cylinders.​

​

23' Gnabry throws in a cross toward the top of the box but Martinez gets to it and plays it out. However, it's straight at Coquelin who takes two touches before ripping a knuckler from the top of the half circle which soars perfectly into the top right 90. The Frenchman could not get it any closer to the corner without hitting a post. A beautiful strike.​

​

28' Theo Walcott gets away down the left before striking for the near post but Neuer is there to parry it over​

​

35' Arsenal clears it out of the box and somehow it works as a perfect through ball for Benik Afobe. He barely fights off Dante who also tried to slide tackle him but missed (and thus avoided a red card) and gets into the box for the 1v1. He calmly places it into the bottom right corner passed a sliding Neuer.​

​

45' Vermaelen dances around Alaba out on the right before spotting Coquelin streaking for the near post. Vermaelen hits the short cross toward him and Coquelin does the rest, heading it into the ground at the far corner and just under the reach of Neuer. ​

​

59' Arsenal earns a penalty as second half substitute Ryo Miyaichi gets to the edge of the left side of the box before pulling an in to out flip flap which nutmegs Badstuber who clatters Miyaichi to the ground. Young German Serge Gnabry steps up and finishes the PK.​

​

78' Coquelin has the ball just outside the box, he cuts in before ripping low for the far post but his hat trick is denied by a diving Neuer. ​

​

90' The ball is played through to Afobe who fakes the shot at the top of the box and cuts in to avoid Dante. He gets just inside the box and tries placing it into the corner around Neuer. Neuer parries it out straight to Serge Gnabry who has a tap in from inside the 6.​

Matchday 16

BVB (1) Newcastle (1)

BVB
I. Gundogan (17' PEN) 9.4 match rating

Toon
C. Tiote (5')

In a match that saw two goals go in in the first 17 minutes, both managers thought for sure that we'd be seeing an inflated scoreline when 90 minutes expired. The scoring started when a Tiote made a wonderful run burning his marker on a throw-in into the box where he would settle it and fire it through the netting. Then, on a promising BVB attack a weak Coloccini clearance did the Magpies no favors as they were instantly back under fire. A soft, but ill-advised tackle in the 18 would put BVB on the spot where Gundogan would not miss. The teams exchanged chance for chance, blow for blow, shot for shot only for the scoreline to remain even. Helluva game.

​

2' Oxlade-Chamberlain gets down the line and crosses for Podolski. Podolski heads the point blank header right at Krul.​

​

25' Podolski plays Gervinho through the gap and he's off and running. Krul rushes him and Gervinho tries the chip. The chip hits Krul in the chest, bounces off, hits Gervinho's foot and magically pops out in front of him for a walk in. 1-0​

​

49' Moussa Sissoko gets down the line and cuts in. He crosses for Papiss Cisse who does well to win the header but the header bounces off the ground and off the post and out for a goal kick.​

​

54' Santi Cazorla uses his shiftiness to get a clear shot from 12 yards out but his shot for the far post is saved by Krul.​

​

56' Sissoko gets down the line and cuts in nicely again but his effort to curl for the far post is well wide. ​

​

65' Podolski powers his way through the defense to get a shot off from 16 yards but again, Krul saves it. The rebound comes to Wilshere at the far post but his follow up shot hits the side netting.​

​

68' Arsenal earns a corner. Walcott whips it in and Vermaelen rises well to head it over the man on the post's head. 2-0​

​

89' Arsenal uses some quick passing to get Gervinho through on goal with just Yanga-Mbiwa to beat with Chuba Akpom inside of him. He dribbles and waits for Akpom to check up his run, then hits Akpom but Akpom's first touch his a bit hard, giving Krul time to rush him. Akpom tries getting it under Krul but he makes himself too big and saves it well. ​

Good game Jon MK I got a good break and then a nice counter. Missed some opportunities from the both of us, could have very well easily ended in the draw.​

Arsenal dominated this one but it was with a lot of help from lady luck. Literally every roll bounced Arsenal's way and because of it, Manchester United couldn't really get anything going. ​

​

11' Gervinho is played down the left line. He gets to the byline and crosses for the middle of the 6 where Walcott is streaking and heads it home.​

​

45' The ball bounces out to Diaby who strikes it for the corner but De Gea somehow gets down to it and deflects it out. ​

​

48' Cazorla attempts a shot from 28 yards but has his shot blocked by a sliding Vidic. The ball deflects off the inside of Vidic's ankle and through his leg. He seems to grab Cazorla's foot as he tries to keep running and tackles him. The ball rolls slowly toward goal and Theo Walcott races back for it. He takes a touch forward to the edge of the box and notices Benik Afobe making a run between the defenders. He plays it short into the gap and Afobe's first touch pops the ball up and his second touch is a jumping karate kick which sends the ball into the corner for a goal. ​

​

56' Theo Walcott gets down the right line. He attempts to cut in and split two defenders but it bounces off one of them and back out in front of Walcott who continues to the byline. He crosses from the byline to the far post where Santi Cazorla is unmarked for the diving header. ​

​

65' Shinji Kagawa is played down the left and does well to avoid a few tackles before shooting for the far post from an angle. Szczesny parries it but only to Wilfred Zaha who has the whole goal gaping from about 8 yards. He tries the spectacular bicycle kick and sends it over. A great chance wasted and a real display of Manchester United's day. ​

​

69' Welbeck gets down the left and dodges some tackles, getting around 3 different players before shooting from an angle for the near post but Szczesny saves. ​

​

79' Oxlade Chamberlain turns with the ball well outside the box and sees Eisfeld unmarked. Ox hits him, Eisfeld turns and places a shot from the top of the half circle. It rolls all the way into the far post as De Gea's view was obstructed by numerous players. He probably should have still had it because it was so slow but it went in.​

​

86' Manchester United's offsides trap is broken in a big way as Eisfeld threads through Chuks Aneke for a 5v0. Aneke could play in 4 different players to get it around the goalie but instead is selfish and tries to score himself. He cuts in and tries to curl it around De Gea but De Gea kick saves it right back to Aneke. Aneke taps it home in another display of Man Utd's bad luck. ​

​

5-0 the final.​

This was a sloppy game. Most of the goals came from slop and the teams made a lot of errant passes and dribbled out of bounds unchallenged numerous times.​

​

31' Arsenal earns a corner and it is cleared by Real Madrid but only to the top of the semi circle where Aaron Ramsey takes a huge touch which Sami Khedira picks off. However, Khedira tries to turn into Ramsey and Ramsey picks it back. The ball rolls to Ryo Miyachi who turns toward goal and curls it home from about 12 yards out. ​

​

49' Theo Walcott dribbles diagonally toward the middle toward Sergio Ramos before tapping it toward the byline and taking off, leaving Ramos in the dust. At the byline, he spots Thomas Eisfeld running to the back post and crosses it for him. The ball takes the perfect lane to avoid Casillas' reach and two defenders in the middle and Eisfeld has a free header 2 feet from the back post which he heads home emphatically. ​

​

66' The ball bounces around a bit in midfield but Madrid gets it and threads Ronaldo through diagonally on the left wing. He tries firing it passed the rushing Szczesny from a tight angle but it deflects off Szczesny's chest and straight to the middle where Koscielny chests it but doesn't clear it and Benzema taps it away and through Sagna's legs before firing into the open net. ​

​

75' Arsenal attacks but Madrid picks it off. Xabi Alonso tries dribbling out of his box before attempting a pass which Tomas Rosicky reads well to deflect. The deflection falls to Miyaichi who makes a great turn to avoid a tackle before curling it around Casillas just as a defender arrives to him. ​
