Next games: Bayern v Olympiacos, Arsenal v Dinamo Zagreb (24 November)

Bayern München produced a clinical performance to overpower Arsenal in Munich, Thomas Müller scoring two of their five goals as the Group F leaders ran amok.

Bayern looked to assert their dominance from the start with Arsenal attempting to press high and give their hosts little time on the ball. That approach was undone in the tenth minute, Thiago Alcántara delivering a perfect cross to meet Robert Lewandowski's brilliantly timed run; the Pole expertly headed in his fourth goal of this season's UEFA Champions League.

Man Utd are suffering, says Louis van Gaal

LOUISE VAN GAAL

Manchester United are "suffering" after six matches in 18 days, said boss Louis van Gaal following his side's 2-1 Champions League win over Wolfsburg.

Juan Mata's first-half penalty and Chris Smalling's 53rd-minute goal gave United their first Group B victory.

The Premier League leaders, who visit Arsenal on Sunday, had to hold on as Wolfsburg pressed for an equaliser.

Van Gaal admits he is not the same type of manager as Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson, having required different challenges throughout his 24-year career. While Ferguson led Manchester United for 26 years and Wenger celebrated his 19th anniversary at Arsenal on Thursday, the Dutchman’s longest tenure at any club is six years.
