Rice Saves Arsenal With Late Bayern Equaliser

Declan Rice snatched a 2‑2 draw for Arsenal with a goal in the final eight minutes against Bayern Munich. Eze, subbing for an injured Bukayo Saka, had given Arsenal the lead after a swift pass from Martin Ødegaard. Alphonso Davies answered two minutes later, threading a ball from Harry Kane to level the tie. Kane then won and converted a penalty, his sixteenth goal in twenty‑three matches versus Arsenal, pushing Bayern ahead. The captain also logged ten straight Champions League games with a goal, just one shy of Ronaldo’s record. Bayern were missing in‑form winger Michael Olise, captain Joshua Kimmich and midfielder Jamal Musiala. Coach Vincent Kompany stayed on the touchline despite earlier illness doubts. Late substitute Viktor Gyökeres slipped a clever pass to Rice. Rice struck home with eight minutes remaining to earn Arsenal a point. It was only the second time Arsenal dropped points in twelve games across all competitions this season. Kane admitted the result was fair, saying a draw felt appropriate after a ninety‑minute battle.
