UCL: Declan Rice late strike seals Arsenal draw at Bayern

In a thrilling match at Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Bayern Munich ended their league phase of the Champions League game in a draw after Declan Rice equalised in the final minutes. Early into the match, Bukayo Saka was forced to leave the field after just 10 minutes due to a suspected thigh injury. Saka's absence left a significant impact on Arsenal's gameplay.

Eberechi Eze stepped in to give Arsenal the lead in the 35th minute with a well-placed shot after a brilliant pass from Martin Odegaard. Initially, the video assistant referee ruled Saka offside, but his goal stood after further review. However, Bayern Munich quickly responded, with Harry Kane capitalising on a through ball from Davies in the 40th minute, putting his team in front.

In a penalty situation, Kane further extended Bayern's lead by slotting the ball past Arsenal's goalkeeper, Jurrien Timber. Despite Bayern's efforts to regain the lead, Arsenal remained resilient, preventing them from scoring another goal. In the dying moments of the game, Rice orchestrated a final attack assisted by Viktor Gyokeres, ultimately scoring a late equaliser for Arsenal, securing a draw for both teams.

Arsenal's goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, was tested throughout the match, including a late save from Timber.
