Alex Iwobi netted a late equaliser to set up a penalty shootout win for Arsenal against Bayern Munich today in China.

Arsene Wenger's side had been on the receiving end of a 5-1 thumping in the last THREE matches against Bayern.

But this time they managed to end their run of defeats and also managed something rare – beating a German side on penalties.

Earlier, they were behind to Robert Lewandowski's penalty at Shanghai Stadium – and it was a dodgy spot-kick at that.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles was judged to have brought down Juan Bernat but it was harsh decision from ref Guan Xing.

After Lewandowski stuck away his pen it looked like the floodgates would open as Wenger had a makeshift defence.

Petr Cech was outstanding on the day, his best saves came from Thomas Muller's deflected drive and two point-blank stops to deny James Rodriguez.

Then Iwobi struck at the death, heading home Aaron Ramsey's cross after making a surging run himself.

During the shoot-out, Emi Martinez saved from David Alaba and Bernat.
