Arsenal saw Mesut Ozil miss a penalty and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny sent-off as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16 first leg.

The Gunners held-out in a first half that saw Ozil win a penalty only to have his lacklustre attempt saved by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, before Szczesny was shown a straight red card for bringing down Arjen Robben when the Dutchman was through on goal

The defeat echoes the same fixture last year, as Bayern head back to Munich with a two-goal cushion much like their 3-1 win at the Emirates gave them at the same point in last season's competition.
