In an attempt to win the UEFA Champions League at home, Arsenal hosted Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium earlier tonight. When Bukayo Saka reached the back of the net in the 12th minute, the Gunners took an early lead in the match. Six minutes later, though, Serge Gnabry gave the visitors an equalizer, and in the 32nd minute, Harry Kane gave Bayern Munich a 2-1 lead from the penalty spot. The score at the half was 2-1 against Mikel Arteta’s team.
In the 76th minute, Leandro Trossard pulled one back for the Gunners, and Arsenal emerged victorious from their hard-fought 2-2 home tie against the opposition.
David Raya, GK: 6/10
Raya won’t be happy about giving up twice in the first half even if he didn’t have to make any saves during the match.
Ben White, RB: 6/10
He had a couple strong moments in the opposition’s half, and his efforts were rewarded with an assist.
