It was an excellent and trademark left-footed finish from the youngster, who made Alphonso Davies\u2019 life incredibly difficult throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s starboy was always willing to run at the speedy Bayern left-back and continually drew fouls in the opposition half as the hosts looked to pile on the pressure. It was an electric outing from the forward and Bayern will need a special plan to deny him freedom next week \u2013 especially with Davies missing the second leg due to suspension.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honourable mention<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leandro Trossard \u2013 8\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Just as Arsenal looked to be getting frustrated by some stubborn Bayern defending, Arteta brought Gabriel Jesus and Trossard on to the pitch. Both changed the complexion of the game, with the former setting up the latter for the all-important leveller.<\/p>\n<p>Both deserve honourable mentions but it was Trossard who looked the most lively after his introduction, while also showing his ruthless streak once again inside the penalty area.<\/p>\n<p>After all, Arsenal wouldn\u2019t be in the final eight without his vital goal against Porto in the last 16.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_b6lsekrqn\">Arsenal\u2019s worst player vs Bayern Munich<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">David Raya \u2013 5\/10<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/01hv2bgcjt4bvj08105p.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"David Raya\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>David Raya didn\u2019t have his best night \/ Eddie Keogh\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t a terrible display from David Raya, let\u2019s make that clear. However, given Bayern seldom tested him, his questionable decision making in the vital moments arguably proved costly for the hosts.<\/p>\n<p>In the build-up to Bayern\u2019s equaliser \u2013 a goal that dramatically changed the course of the game \u2013 Raya needlessly rushed out of his goal as Gabriel swept up an aimless ball over the top. As a result, the centre-back couldn\u2019t direct a pass back to his goalkeeper, forcing him to surrender possession with a loose pass. Both will share the blame, but Raya\u2019s decision forced Gabriel\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>Raya also made Kane\u2019s life pretty simple from the penalty spot in the first half, committing far too early as the Bayern forward went to strike his spot kick. It may not have mattered given the England captain\u2019s incredible penalty record, but it was another slight misjudgement from the Arsenal stopper.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dishonourable mention<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gabriel Martinelli \u2013 5\/10<\/h3>\n<p>The Arsenal winger wasn\u2019t guilty of making too many errors at the Emirates, he was simply guilty of being far too quiet. He was rarely involved in the final third and was unable to get the better of Joshua Kimmich at right-back, with Arsenal\u2019s best moments coming down Saka\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most telling, Arsenal looked instantly better when he was withdrawn, with Trossard coming on in his place.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal may have been strong favourites for their Champions League quarter-final first leg with Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening, but they were only able to take a draw away from a high-octane clash in north London.
