Bayern missed the resulting penalty and they missed another one here in injury time, which was awarded for another foul on Robben, this time by the defender Laurent Koscielny. Robben had earlier been guilty of a blatant dive, with Santi Cazorla in attendance, and Wenger lashed out at the Holland winger.
