Watch: Arsenal falls apart as Bayern scores 3 goals in 10 minutes

Ten minutes of attacking football from Bayern Munich hammered a trio of nails into Arsenal's Champions League coffin Wednesday.
After Bayern and Arsenal entered the interval all square in the first leg of their tie in the Champions League's Round of 16, the German club undid all of the Gunners' early work in only ten minutes. First came a wonderful counter-attack that ended with Robert Lewandowski heading Carlo Ancelotti's side into the lead in the 53rd minute.
Then came a brilliant flick from the big Polish striker, which led to a finish from Thiago Alcantara in the 56th minute.
And the little Spaniard, with some help from a deflection, gave the home side a 4-1 lead in the 63rd minute.
Deja vu for Arsenal.
