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. Dan Marino 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..." Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey . There are practical ideas, like this Chewbaca inspired Star Wars jerseys. Star Wars themed jerseys for the Toledo Mud Hens.

Napoli hit two home runs, Jonny Gomes and prized rookie Xander Bogaerts also connected, and the Red Sox kept up their dizzying scoring spree at Yankee Stadium by bashing New York 13-9 Saturday for a fifth straight win. http://www.shopdolphinsauthenticnfl.com/Youth-Mike-Gesicki-Elite-Jersey/ . Interestingly, the culprits were not rookies, but well paid, experienced pros. The first gaffe came in the 24th minute of arguably the biggest early season MLS game in history between Seattle and Toronto. Sounder newcomer Marco Pappa, (with over 100 MLS games, and 39 Guatemalan Caps to his name) attempted a back pass to one of his central defenders.HAMILTON - The Toronto Argonauts will have starter Ricky Ray back when they meet the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Monday but must ground the CFLs top aerial attack minus one of their top defenders. Watch the game on TSN starting at 4pm et/1pm pt and listen on TSN 1050 in Toronto. You can also follow along with TSN.cas GameTracker. Cornerback Pat Watkins, whose five interceptions leaves him tied for the CFL lead, and defensive back Demetrice Morley, who started in Torontos 33-19 home loss to Hamilton last weekend, both wont play for personal reasons. Argos head coach Scott Milanovich wouldnt offer specifics but said he knew last week neither would suit up. "They have some personal issues to take care of," Milanovich said. "Nobody is in any trouble. "I wouldnt read too much into anything. Theyre excused." Watkins, 30, a native of Tallahassee, Fla., also missed training camp due to unspecified personal issues. He rejoined the defending Grey Cup champions in time for the start of the regular season. The loss of Watkins, a team captain, is big. The six-foot-five, 205-pound cornerback was a league all-star last year and is not only the Argos top pass defender but also a threat to blitz off the edge. Rookie Neiko Thorpe will make his first CFL start at cornerback and be one of five Argos in new defensive positions Monday at Alumni Stadium in Guelph, Ont. Jamie Robinson replaces the injured Matt Black at safety, Ricardo Colclough moves from linebacker to halfback with Major Culbert taking Colcloughs spot and rookie Auston English starting at defensive end. Toronto running back Chad Kackert (shoulder) also wont play while receiver John Chiles (hamstring) is a game-time decision. Milanovich expects Hamilton will test Thorpe but said Argos defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones will make it tough for the Ticats to single Thorpe out. "The hard thing with our defence is Chris will match guys up so youre not maybe ever sure where a guy is going to be," Milanovich said. "Im not sure, sometimes, where guys are going to be. "Im sure, definitely, theyd like to go after the new guys but theyll have to find them first." A fact not lost upon veteran Ticats quarterback Henry Burris, who anchors an offence averaging a league-best 315 yards passing per game. By comparison, Toronto is ranked last in pass defence, allowing 294.5 yards per contest. "Well see who the new guy is and how he plays in that area and who theyre going to match up against because we know Chris likes to match up guys on certain guys in man-to-man coverage," Burris said. "But (Watkins) is one of the best DBs in the league, thats definitely a loss for anybody. "We wont change what our gameplan is but it does open up some things that werent as clearly there (last week)." Toronto and Hamilton have cemented playoff berths but Mondays game is big for both. For starters, the winner clinches the season series and earns the first tie-breaker should they finished tied in the East Division standings. Dan Marino Dolphins Jersey. Toronto (9-5) can earn a home playoff game with a victory and move closer to cementing top spot in the East Division. Hamilton (7-7) must win to not only remain in the hunt for first but also stay ahead of third-place Montreal (6-8), which plays Winnipeg (2-12) on Monday. "This is our opportunity to really send a true blow," Burris said. "They are the Grey Cup champions, theyre still the king of the hill here in the East so were expecting their best. "If we want to get a mental edge on them with the playoffs still ahead — and youll have to beat Toronto to get to the Grey Cup — we need this game for that mental psyche as well." Ray will play his first game since suffering a shoulder injury in a 35-14 home loss to Calgary on Aug. 23. Toronto went 4-2 under sophomore Zach Collaros but Milanovich said the Argos are buoyed by the return of offensive leader. "We built this offence around him and to suit him and put in the pieces of the puzzle that we thought would complement him best," Milanovich said. "Having him back certainly gives us a lot of confidence and a little bit of a comfort level just that we can kind of go back to how we built this offence. "Having Ricky back will be big." When Ray was injured, he was the CFLs hottest passer, having completed 148-of-189 passes (78.3 per cent) with 15 touchdowns and no interceptions. If Ray can maintain that completion percentage, hed break Dave Dickensons single-season mark of 73.98 per cent set in 05. "It (shoulder) is feeling pretty good," Ray said. "Most of the rust was just getting back into it, seeing things a little bit faster and getting back into the flow. "Really, I didnt have any issues with my arm." Its fitting Rays return comes in a game involving Burris. The two were longtime West Division rivals when Burris was with Calgary and Ray played in Edmonton before becoming East Division foes last year when Ray was dealt to Toronto. "Hes a great decision-maker, thats why he hasnt thrown any interceptions this year," Burris said of Ray. "Ricky has been given the keys to that Ferrari and hes doing a great job of managing it. "With the playmakers he has, hes doing a great job of just taking what the defences give him." Burris, 38, has thrown for a league-high 4,173 yards with 22 touchdowns but has also surrendered a CFL-leading 16 interceptions. But Ray said during his time in Edmonton he often watched helplessly from the sidelines as Burris rallied Calgary to late victories. "Hes a tough quarterback to play against because hes going to go out and put up points," Ray said. "The other thing to is when it has come down to the last few minutes and youre on the sidelines, he has led game-winning drives and come back to haunt you. "Offensively you have to be away of that and know you have to go out there and put up points against them."
