Number 11: “Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal dominate Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich.”
Match: Arsenal 2 – 0 Bayern Munich | Date: 20th October 2015 | Competition: Champions League Group Stage
This football match is, without a doubt, the most underrated Arsenal game of the decade.
On this day in 2015, a tactical masterclass from Arsene Wenger led Arsenal to a memorable victory over Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich.
Calum Chambers made his return to Fulham’s starting lineup to earn his fifth Premier League appearance for the club in their midday clash against Javi Garcia’s Watford. The Cottagers conceded early on in the fixture but they managed to salvage a draw thanks to a goal from forward Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Despite signing a long-term contract with Arsenal back in July, the Gunners’ new manager, Unai Emery, decided to send the Englishman out on loan so he could get consistent game time in the Premier League. If rumours are to be believed, a handful of clubs expressed their interest in signing the 23-year-old on a season-long loan. In the end, it was Fulham who were able to finalise the deal to bolster their defensive options.
