Late Toure goal gives Gunners hope after Bayern siege

ARSENAL were left with a Champions League mountain to climb after serious defensive blunders in their last-16 first-leg tie at Bayern Munich.

Kolo Toure's mistake allowed Claudio Pizarro to strike from close-range after just four minutes and the Peruvian striker was again left unmarked to head in from Mehmet Scholl's free-kick on 58 minutes.

Jens Lehmann was exposed as Hasan Salihamidzic inflicted Bayern's third blow on 65 minutes, but Toure gave Arsenal hope with a late goal.
