Arsenal Salvage a Point in Munich

Name: __________________________ Date: __________________

Read the story

Sky Sports reported a 2–2 Champions League draw at the Allianz Arena after Arsenal recovered from a second-half deficit.

Bayern had overturned Eze's opener through Davies and a Kane penalty. Rice's equaliser ultimately ensured that neither side took all three points.

Scoring the final goal is not equivalent to winning the match. Here the equaliser removed Bayern’s advantage, leaving a draw and one point each. The narrative of a recovery should therefore be distinguished from the numerical result.
