Arsenal's 3-2 win over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Women's Champions League on Wednesday was enough to cement their place at the top as the group stage draws to a close.
It was the perfect start for the Gunners as Kyra Cooney-Cross's corner saw Glodis Viggosdottir send a deflection into the back of her net. Bayern Munich hit back late in the opening half as Magdalena Eriksson headed home a Giulia Gwinn corner.
The visitors were next to take the lead as Eriksson got her own post from another brilliant Gwinn delivery. However, Arsenal refused to give up as Alessia Russo and Mariona Caldentey completed the comeback for the side under the north London lights.
Both sides will now look forward to the quarter-final draw which will decide who they will face in the European tournament. The draw will be made on February 7, while the quarter-finals will be held on March 18/19 and 26/27.
