Bayern Munich and Arsenal level after lively Champions League first half

Arsenal and Bayern Munich were level at 1-1 at half-time in an entertaining third-day UEFA Champions League encounter played in front of a packed stadium.

The Gunners took the lead after 25 minutes when E. Eze converted M. Ødegaard’s assist. Arsenal’s advantage, however, lasted only 10 minutes before Bayern responded.

A. Davies brought the German side back into the match in the 35th minute, scoring from a pass by Harry Kane.
