London, On his return to North London, Harry Kane got his traditional goal against Arsenal, but Bayern Munich could not walk away with a win this time.
Leandro Trossard's second-half equalizer earned Arsenal a 2-2 draw against Bayern in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday, after Kan once again scored against his old rival.
Trossard fired a low shot in the 76th minute to cancel out Kane's first-half penalty and leave the teams level ahead of next week's second leg. “It was a difficult game. Of course we are never happy when we don't win,” said Kane, who has seven goals in the Champions League this season and 15 against Arsenal in his career.The hosts took the lead in the 12th minute through Bukayo Saka and dominated the early stages until former Arsenal player Serge Gnabry made it 1–1 after a mistake by defender Gabriel in the 18th minute.
Kane then put Bayern ahead from the penalty spot in the 25th, but two other Arsenal players combined to equalize as Gabriel Jesus beat Eu Trossard in the area. “We started very well. “We could have scored two or three goals after taking the lead,” Trossard said. You can see why Bayern Munich haven't hurt us because of the kind of quality they have.,
The last time these two teams played, Bayern defeated Arsenal 10–2 on aggregate after two 5–1 wins in the round of 16 in 2017. However, it looked like things would be very different this time as Arsenal came out on top. Premier League while Bayern is suffering its worst Bundesliga season in more than a decade and has lost the title race to Bayer Leverkusen.
But Kane, who scored a record 14 goals in the north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal before joining the German powerhouse this season, ensured Bayer have at least a marginal advantage for the second leg at home next Wednesday. Kingsley Coman almost scored the winning goal for Bayern in the 90th minute, but his flick-on from close range hit the post, while Saka had a penalty appeal rejected in the fifth minute of stoppage time.Despite Islamic State's alleged terror threat against Champions League matches this week, the game went on as scheduled and there were no incidents in the emirate before or during the game.
Real Madrid and Manchester City were drawn 3-3 by Spain in the other quarterfinal on Tuesday. Bayern got the draw despite playing without any outside fans in the stadium due to a UEFA sanction against the club, which meant Arsenal 60,000 seats were able to be filled with home supporters.
And that crowd was wild after Arsenal's strong start.
The opening goal came when Ben White beat Saka inside the area and the England winger fired a low shot between two defenders and into the far post just beyond the reach of diving Manuel Neuer.White had a great chance to double the lead in the 16th when Bayern failed to clear the ball and Kai Havertz lined up a defender in the area, but his shot went straight to Neuer.
Soon after, an Arsenal mistake led to an equaliser.
Bayern were quick to respond as Gabriel passed the ball into midfield, Leon Goretzka slipped the ball to Gnabry and fired the ball past goalkeeper David Raya. Bayern were awarded a penalty when William Saliba fouled Leroy in the box. Sane fell, and Kane – who was greeted with boos every time he touched the ball – sent Raya the wrong way before turning the ball into the right corner.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said: “In the Champions League you can't give anything to the opponent." "We gave them two goals today."
Raya saved two penalties in the shootout against Porto in the round of 16, giving Kane plenty of material to study before the game. Kane said of Raya, "It was one of those where I looked at his game against Porto. Did a little research about it." Nice to see him go early and make it easier for me.
After Trossard's equaliser, there was still some late drama as Saka had a chance to round Neuer in stoppage time, but collided with the goalkeeper and Wayne fell to the ground.However, referee Glenn Nyberg waved the game off and replays showed that Saka had stuck his foot out to initiate contact.
Meanwhile, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel was angry that his team did not receive a second penalty for handball when Raya played a short goal kick to Gabriel, who inexplicably picked up the ball and took the goal kick back.Tuchel Said Nyberg told his players that Gabriel had made "a child's mistake" and that he would not give a penalty for it in the Champions League quarter-finals.
"It's a terrible, terrible explanation," said Tuchel.
