ARSENAL 2-2 BAYERN: TROSSARD RESCUES DRAW FOR HOSTS, KANE, GNABRY NETS
Read Time:1 Minute, 29 Second
In an event that turned out to be the last action of the game, Bukayo Saka and his Arsenal teammates were fuming after being denied a penalty at the end of their Champions League draw with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, on a night which threatened to go horribly wrong, Mikel Arteta and his team gave themselves a chance of squeezing through to the semi-finals – despite Bukayo Saka being denied a late penalty.
Everything was going according to plan for Bayern when Harry Kane put his team 2-1 up, until Leandro Trossard struck in the 76th minute to level the scores.
Kane is maybe lucky that he will be able to feature in next week’s second leg as he avoided a red card with a forearm smash to the face of Gabriel Magalhaes.
While Saka was certain that he should have had a penalty in the final minute of stoppage time, when he collided with Manuel Neuer in the box.
Bayern, surprisingly given their dodgy recent form, clawed their way back into the tie with goals from two players familiar with this part of London.
Former Arsenal forward Serge Gnabry equalised after a mix-up in the Arsenal defence and then came the least surprising moment of the night when Kane struck.
Along with ex-Tottenham defender Eric Dier, the England captain was jeered with every touch of the ball so he would have absolutely loved the moment he rolled a first half penalty past David Raya.
Having scored 14 goals in 19 North London derbies, it was utterly inevitable that Kane would score.
Even though Bayern have suffered a disappointing season and are 16 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen, you can only wonder where they would be without the goals of Kane.
