UCL: Arsenal Hold Bayern Munich To 2-2 Draw

Arsenal came from behind to force Bayern Munich to a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena, extending their unbeaten run in the Champions League phase to 15 games.

Both teams came into Matchday three unbeaten, and it lived up to its blockbuster billing.

Arsenal suffered an early blow as Bukayo Saka went down with a left quad injury after just 10 minutes and was replaced by Eberechi Eze.

Eze made an instant impact as he opened the scoring on 25 minutes. Martin Odegaard played a superb ball over the top and Eze stayed onside to slot past Manuel Neuer.

In the 35th minute Alphonso Davies made it 1-1 finishing off Harry Kane’s superb through-ball that isolated Jurrien Timber.

Then in the 61st minute Kane scored from the penalty spot after Timber had handled the former Tottenham striker’s goal-bound shotKane’s shot.

But with eight minutes left Declan Rice drew Arsenal level. Rice burst forward, played off Viktor Gyokeres, got the ball back and smashed home the equaliser.

Bayern thought they had extended their incredible 39-game unbeaten home run in the Champions League group/league phase dating back to 2013, but Rice denied them.

The draw means Arsenal are in seventh place on seven points while Bayern are 14th on five points in the standings.
