Arsenal came from behind to draw 2-2 with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, and Declan Rice's equaliser with eight minutes left saved the point. He took a touch from substitute Viktor Gyokeres and finished past Manuel Neuer at the end of a move Noni Madueke had also been part of. Arsenal needed it because Bayern had gone ahead just past the hour, when Jurrien Timber handled a Harry Kane shot and Kane sent David Raya the wrong way from the spot.
Eberechi Eze had put Arsenal ahead on 25 minutes, running on to Martin Odegaard's ball over the top and drilling it low past Neuer. He was given offside at first, but VAR overturned the call. Bayern levelled ten minutes later because Kane dropped deep and slipped in Alphonso Davies, who curled his shot past Raya. Eze was only on because Bukayo Saka had gone down clutching his thigh, and he replaced him after eight or ten minutes depending on the account, playing on the left.
Kane had a hand in both of Bayern's goals, so coming back after his penalty is the strongest support for Mikel Arteta's view that this was "one of the highest levels that we played". Arsenal didn't just hang on. They went behind in Munich and found the goal to answer it. After the matchday-three games on 21 October, Arsenal are seventh in the league phase on seven points and still unbeaten.
David Raya was a Real Madrid fan as a boy and his Arsenal deal runs for another two years, so his admission that he "would love" a move to La Liga is an unhelpful one for the club.
The bigger worry from Munich is Saka's left quad injury. Arteta said Saka felt a "really sharp pain" and that the medical team were "a bit concerned", but his verdict that the injury "does not look good at all" matters most because it goes well beyond concern. A manager who talks like that sounds braced for a long absence. Eze's goal in Munich at least makes him the obvious option if Saka misses Everton's visit to the Emirates on 24 October.
