#3 Arsenal get their penalty; Bayern aren’t so lucky
Trending
It’s perhaps unfair to call a side that scores five goals in a Champions League knockout fixture unlucky, but Bayern were denied two penalty claims – one in each half – when the ball struck the hands of both Arsenal full backs. It was Bellerin in the first half who managed to not concede a penalty, while the second half saw the ball strike Gibbs’ hand on its way to goal and yet only a corner was awarded.
In contrast, Arsenal were awarded a penalty when Koscielny nudged the ball away from Lewandowski midway through his clearance in the box and ended up being kicked in the shin by the Polish striker. Sanchez would see his initial effort saved, and miskick the rebound, but finally get it right on the third attempt to score his 20th goal of the season in all competitions.
