Kimmich’s header dumps Arsenal  out of Champions League in quarter-finals

0

A bullet header from Joshua Kimmich saw Bayern Munich win 1-0 in their Champions League quarter-final second leg, claiming a 3-2 aggregate victory and knocking Arsenal out of the competition.

The return leg did not quite have the drama of the first at the Emirates, where the game ended in a 2-2 draw, but the Germans took advantage of a moment of lax Arsenal defending.

Kimmich powered home his effort just after the hour to see the Gunners beaten, suffering another blow to their hopes of silverware this season after a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Super Sunday.

Bayern will face either Real Madrid or Manchester City in the semi-finals, with the tie set to take place on April 30 or May 1 and May 7 or 8.

Arsenal look to reignite their Premier League title hopes at Wolves following their defeat at home against Aston Villa.
