Rice’s late equaliser ends Bayern’s 40-match home unbeaten run
Arsenal drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich in the Champions League after Declan Rice scored an 82nd-minute equaliser, denying Harry Kane’s side a home victory. The result was a statement for Arsenal, who had managed only one previous win away to Bayern and ended the German club’s 40-match unbeaten home run in the competition’s group or league phase.
Eberechi Eze put Arsenal ahead after replacing the injured Bukayo Saka, but Alphonso Davies equalised from a Harry Kane assist and Kane then scored a penalty. Rice secured the draw with a low finish, while Jurriën Timber nearly snatched a late winner; Bayern created the clearer chances. Kane has now scored 16 times against Arsenal and scored in 10 consecutive Champions League ties, one short of Cristiano Ronaldo’s record.
