What an absolute blockbuster in Bavaria! FC Bayern Munich and Arsenal share the points in a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena for Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League.
The Gunners broke the deadlock early in the first half through a composed finish from Eberechi Eze. However, Bayern hit back swiftly when Alphonso Davies scored a spectacular open-play goal—the first open-play goal Arsenal has conceded in the UCL all year! Harry Kane then turned the game on its head from the penalty spot in the second half after a chaotic sequence in the Arsenal box.
Just as Bayern looked set to keep their flawless 13-year unbeaten home record in the Champions League group/league phase fully intact, Declan Rice struck a magnificent 82nd-minute equalizer following a brilliant build-up from Martin Ødegaard and Viktor Gyökeres to seal a massive point on the road for Mikel Arteta’s side.
