Declan Rice delivered a late strike to spark wild scenes among the travelling Arsenal faithful in a heavyweight Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.
Declan Rice produced a moment to remember, hauling Arsenal level late on against Bayern Munich and sending the visiting supporters into delirium in one of the Champions League's biggest fixtures.
With time running out and Bayern pushing to hold on, Rice found the decisive moment to strike. The travelling Gunners fans, who had backed their side throughout, erupted as the ball hit the net. The reaction said it all: this was a goal that meant a great deal, in a game where the margins were always going to be tight.
It was a fitting contribution from a midfielder who has become central to everything Arsenal do. Rice's energy, drive and willingness to arrive in dangerous areas have made him a key figure for Mikel Arteta's side, and here he showed he can also deliver when the stakes are highest.
For Arsenal, the equaliser is a major lift against European heavyweights on a demanding continental night. For Bayern, it is a frustrating finish after they looked close to getting the result they wanted. In a competition where every moment counts, Rice made sure his team left with something to show for their efforts.
