Bayern's late equaliser halts Arsenal's record run in Champions League

At the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, Declan Rice's low strike past Manuel Neuer in the 82nd minute secured a 2‑2 draw as Bayern Munich and Arsenal split points in a UEFA Champions League Phase clash. Alphonso Davies had opened the scoring in the 35th and Harry Kane equalised from the spot in the 61st.

Eberechi Eze gave Arsenal the lead after 25 minutes, only for Davies to level five minutes later. Kane, Tottenham's all‑time record scorer, converted a Pen after Jurrien Timber's handball and then provided the assist that set up Davies' opener. The English captain, tipped for the Ballon d’Or on Monday, added his 16th goal in 23 career outings against Arsenal.
