Pernille Harder ended her Champions League goal drought to inspire a 5-2 comeback victory for Bayern Munich over Arsenal. Jonas Eidevall's side arrived in Bavaria off the back of a disappointing goalless draw with Everton in the WSL - but the visitors struck first through Mariona Caldentey (30). Bayern responded before half-time through Glodis Viggosdottir's looping header (43), and the reigning German champions led through Sydney Lohmann's drive 11 minutes after the restart.
Katie McCabe collected her second assist of the night when Laia Codina met her corner (65), but Harder then wrestled control of the contest in devastating fashion. The former Chelsea forward, who had failed to score a Champions League goal previously for Bayern across six appearances, headed the hosts back in front from Carolin Simon's corner (73). Trending It was the first of three goals in a devastating 13-minute spell for the Dane as the Arsenal defence crumbled late on to increase the pressure on Eidevall.
Problems mounting for Eidevall Arsenal were knocked out in qualifying by Paris FC last year but, after they navigated fixtures with Rangers, Rosenborg and a two-legged round with Hacken, the Women's Super League outfit were unable to claim any points from their Group C opener.
