Leandro Trossard Strikes Late To Rescue Arsenal In Bayern Munich Draw

Arsenal rescued a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich as Leandro Trossard's late leveller stopped Harry Kane making a triumphant return to north London in Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg. Trossard came off the bench to equalise in the closing stages at the Emirates Stadium after former Tottenham striker Kane put Bayern 2-1 ahead with a first-half penalty. Arsenal had taken an early lead through Bukayo Saka before former Gunners winger Serge Gnabry put Bayern back on level terms.

Kane scored a north London derby record 14 goals against Arsenal during his time with Tottenham, making him an inevitable target for taunts for Gunners fans.

When Kane bagged his sixth career goal at the Emirates -- and his 39th in all competitions in his first season with Bayern -- it seemed the England captain would have the last laugh.

But Trossard's dramatic intervention leaves the tie delicately poised ahead of the second leg in Munich on April 17.

Although Saka was furious not to be given a penalty in the final seconds when Neuer appeared to trip him, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta would only say: "The decision was made. We cannot change it.

"We started really well. We were dominant, created some momentum and scored the first goal. Then at a critical moment we didn't get the second.

"We have given them two goals today. That is the biggest lesson. When they have this space they can punish you."

Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel claimed his side should have had a penalty of their own, saying: "The referee would not give a penalty because he said it was a kid's mistake by their defender when he handled.

"This is a horrible explanation. We feel angry. It is a huge decision against us."

Premier League leaders Arsenal have been in superb form
