Bayern Munich tried to catch Arsenal off guard with a quick restart from a throw-in whilst nine Gunners players were having a drinks break on the touchline.

Play in Wednesday night's Champions League quarter-final had halted in the first-half due to a minor injury to Bukayo Saka, and many of Arsenal's outfield stars - and some Bayern players - were having a drink, while the Gunners received instructions from Mikel Arteta.

A second-half header from Joshua Kimmich gave the German side a 1-0 win on the night, and 3-2 success on aggregate, to reach the semis against Real Madrid.

Just after 35 minutes into the game at the Allianz Arena, Bayern tried to be sneaky and take a throw-in whilst many Arsenal players were out of position, after the game had briefly paused after Saka got hit in the face with the ball. 

Left-back Noussair Mazraoui sprinted towards David Raya's goal with the ball after the unexpected move from the hosts.
