UEFA Champions League, League Stage 3Bayern MnchenBAY 2 2 Full Time ArsenalARS Venue Allianz Arena Referee Davide MassaAlphonso Davies 35Harry Kane 61 (Pen) Eberechi Eze 25Declan Rice 82Declan Rice scored a late equaliser as Arsenal fought back to earn a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in an entertaining Champions League clash at the Allianz Arena. Eberechi Eze had given Mikel Artetas side the lead in the first half before Alphonso Davies equalised for the hosts.Former Tottenham striker Harry Kane then put Bayern ahead from the penalty spot after the break, but Rice struck in the 82nd minute to ensure the points were shared.The result leaves Arsenal seventh in the Champions League league phase with seven points from three matches, while Bayern sit 14th with five.Eze strikes after Saka injury setbackArsenal suffered an early blow when Bukayo Saka was forced off injured after just 10 minutes.The England winger had made a promising start but pulled up while attempting a routine pass, appearing to suffer a muscular problem.Eze replaced him and made an immediate impact, although Bayern had opportunities to take the lead.Serge Gnabry wasted a particularly good chance in the 21st minute when he found himself through on goal but failed to beat David Raya.Arsenal punished that miss four minutes later with a brilliant move involving Martin Odegaard and Eze.The Gunners captain delivered an outstanding long pass over Bayerns defence, allowing Eze to race into the penalty area and calmly roll a left-footed finish beyond Manuel Neuer.There was a brief VAR check for offside, but Josip Stanisic had played the Arsenal midfielder onside and the goal stood.Arsenal nearly doubled their advantage when Bruno Guimaraes found himself unmarked at the back post from a corner, only to send his effort wide.Bayern continued to threaten, however, and eventually drew level in the 35th minute.Kane dropped deep to collect possession before producing an excellent pass from near the halfway line, splitting Arsenals defence and finding Davies in behind Jurrien Timber.The Canadian winger raced onto the ball and guided a composed right-footed finish past Raya into the bottom corner.
