LONDON -- Second-half goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Mueller gave holder Bayern Munich a 2-0 victory over 10-man Arsenal and a firm grip of their last 16 Champions League tie on Wednesday. Authentic Kenny Young Jersey . Kroos scored in the 54th minute with a stunning strike, curling the ball past Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who came on after Wojciech Szczesny was sent off for fouling Arjen Robben. An unmarked Mueller scored with a powerful header from close range in the 88th. Both teams missed penalties in the first half, with Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil shooting straight at Manuel Neuer, and Bayern midfielder David Alaba clipping a post. Szczesny was sent off in the 37th minute for following through on Robben. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was clearly frustrated by the sending off, saying it was a great game until halftime. "It killed the game," Wenger said. "The game until then was top quality. The second half was boring. It was one-way traffic." He said Szczesny went for the ball and suggested the decision would have been different had it been a Premier League match. Bayern coach Pep Guardiola disagreed with Wenger, saying he thought it was a penalty and a sending off. Guardiola acknowledged, however, that Arsenal were the better team in the first 15 minutes and that the sending off worked to his sides favour. "The game changed completely," the former Barcelona coach said. "They had nine players in the box and we had to wait patiently." With the odds clearly stacked against the London side, Arsenal can only hope it repeats last years 2-0 win at Bayern in the second leg on March 11. In the nights other match, Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa scored a late winner to beat AC Milan 1-0 at San Siro. At Emirates Stadium, the match was breathless until the sending off, with both sides attacking and trying to gain an advantage. Kroos nearly opened the scoring for Bayern in the third minute when he forced Szczesny to make a flying save with his fingertips. Arsenal wasnt unnerved and starting to dictate play with chances for surprise starter Yaya Sanogo and Santi Cazorla. Bayerns defence started to panic and Ozil won a penalty in the eighth minute when centre back Jerome Boateng clattered into him as the German swiveled past. However, the playmaker failed to convert the spot-kick and Neuer palmed the ball to safety. It was Ozils second penalty miss in the Champions League this season, after misfiring against Marseille in the group stage. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain created problems down the right for Bayern, but the five-time European champion settled down and started to stretch Arsenals defence as the first half wore on. Robben won a penalty in the 37th, when he jumped to control a ball, which bounced off his knee and appeared to be going out of play. But Szczesny was sent off when he clattered Robbens shin on the follow-through. Fabianski came on and Alabas spot kick clipped the outside of the left post. Bayern dominated the second half and despite resolute defending from Arsenal, the home side finally caved in. The first goal came out of nowhere with a simple exchange of passes on the right, but Kroos was given too much space and he unleashed a shot from about 20 yards (meters). A tired Arsenal back line switched off late in the second half, with Philip Lahm finding Mueller whose header bounced into the ground past Fabianski. Kroos nearly made it 3-0 with a low shot that struck a post in stoppage time. Bayern won the treble last year under Jupp Heynckes, and his successor, Guardiola is on course to replicate the teams domination of European football. The Germans are unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season, winning 19 of 21 league matches, and are 16 points clear at the top. Guardiola was without injured attacking midfielders Franck Ribery and Xherdan Shaqiri. The only surprise in team selection was Wengers decision to start Sanogo over striker Olivier Giroud, who recently was accused of having an affair with a model at a hotel before Arsenals 5-1 loss to Liverpool. Wenger insisted he wasnt punishing Giroud, just resting him. "I decided to give him a breather for one, two games," he said. Giroud, who issued an apology at the weekend after the accusations were reported, tweeted on Tuesday: "Ultimate precision with respect to my apologies...Yes I made a mistake but not I have not committed adultery! Things are clear..." Authentic Jordan Lasley Jersey . Team officials travelled to Los Angeles on Thursday night to meet with the free agent, a person with knowledge of the plans said.

Therrien would not confirm his lineup for the game, but he did have the same line combinations practicing together for the third straight day which is usually a pretty good indication of what the lineup will be. http://www.cheapravensjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-mark-andrews-jersey . The same for both the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers.DETROIT - The Detroit Lions are one win from a post-season berth — and a division title is also within reach.We can taste it, man. Its right there in front of us, defensive lineman Jason Jones said.Coach Jim Caldwell doesnt want to hear that kind of talk.I hope hes talking about tasting practice next week, getting ready for the Bears, Caldwell said. Thats probably what it was. Ill clarify it for him.The Lions dont want to get too far ahead of themselves, but Sundays 16-14 victory over Minnesota put Detroit in a tie for first place in the NFC North. The Lions can clinch a playoff berth with a victory next weekend at Chicago, and no matter what happens in that game, Detroit will take the division if it wins at Green Bay the following week.For a while, it looked as if the Lions (10-4) might waste their opportunity to pull even with the Packers atop the division. Green Bay had already lost to Buffalo when Detroit spotted Minnesota a 14-0 lead, but the Lions rallied thanks to two second-quarter interceptions, and they finally took the lead on Matt Praters 33-yard field goal with 3:38 left in the fourth quarter.The Vikings (6-8) had the ball two more times, but by the end they were reduced to sending Blair Walsh out to try a 68-yard field goal on the games final play. It was short, and the Lions held on.The Lions have been through a lot of seasons where they havent been doing too good, said Jones, who is from nearby Southfield. I experienced it when I was younger, but just to be a part of this right now and what we can bring to this city, its so important right now. Our fans, they want it, we want it and were going to go back to work.Here are a few things about Detroits tight victory:Defence FIRST: The Lions didnt manage a first down until their fifth offensive possession, and they never totally solved the Minnesota defence, so it was up to Detrooits defence to keep the game close. Authentic Hayden Hurst Jersey. Glover Quins second-quarter interception, which included a 56-yard return, set up the only touchdown of the game for the Lions.Darius Slay added another interception in the second quarter, and Detroit shut out the Vikings in the second half.BOUNCING BACK: Minnesota quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was sacked eight times in a loss to the Lions in October, and Detroit got to him four more times Sunday. The two interceptions were crucial, but Bridgewater went 31 of 41 for 315 yards and a touchdown.I think hes pretty resilient in really everything, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. I thought offensively we had a pretty good plan against them. Our backs ran hard, we kept fighting for extra yards.CRUCIAL KICKS: In a remarkable reversal, the Lions won this game because of field goals. Prater made all three of his attempts, while Walsh missed from 53 and 68 and had a 26-yarder blocked by Jones in the fourth quarter.Detroit has missed 12 field goals this season, but most of those were before Prater joined the team in October.HELD IN CHECK: Although Detroit won, the Lions were held to a season-low 233 yards of offence. Detroit didnt do much better in its 17-3 win over Minnesota in October. The Lions had only 255 yards in that game.HAPPY AT HOME: The Lions finished 7-1 at home this regular season, the first time theyve managed that since 1995. By sweeping a three-game homestand against Chicago, Tampa Bay and Minnesota, theyve put themselves in a good position to reach the playoffs.These fans deserve the world for everything that theyve been through, centre Dominic Raiola said. Not only in this building with this team, but life in general being here in Detroit. Just some little positivity in everybodys world aint going to hurt.___Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Canadiens Jerseys Cheap Predators Jerseys Cheap Devils Jerseys Cheap Islanders Jerseys Cheap Rangers Jerseys Cheap Senators Jerseys Cheap Flyers Jerseys Cheap Penguins Jerseys Cheap Sharks Jerseys Cheap Blues Jerseys Cheap Lightning Jerseys Cheap Maple Leafs Jerseys Cheap Canucks Jerseys Cheap Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Capitals Jerseys Cheap Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
