Rice rescues Arsenal with late equaliser at Bayern
Bayern Munich were on track for victory before Declan Rice equalised with eight minutes remaining to salvage a point in the 2-2 draw.
Arsenal's Declan Rice scored a crucial late equaliser against Bayern Munich in a 2-2 Champions League draw on Wednesday. Eberechi Eze gave Arsenal the lead after coming on for the injured Bukayo Saka, but Alphonso Davies equalised for Bayern with a sublime assist from Harry Kane. Kane had Bayern leading when he scored a second-half penalty, but Rice equalised in the 89th minute to earn Arsenal a vital point.
Bayern were without key players including Michael Olise, Joshua Kimmich, and Jamal Musiala, while Kompany was a doubt due to illness but attended the match. Despite their absence, Kane maintained Bayern's attacking threat with another excellent performance. His second-half penalty, his 16th goal in 23 matches against Arsenal, extended his Champions League scoring streak to 10 consecutive games.
The draw marked the second time Arsenal had dropped points in 12 games across all competitions this season.
