Bukayo Saka lasted only 10 minutes before having to be replaced by Eberechi Eze as Arsenal took on Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena

Arsenal have been dealt a worrying injury blow after Bukayo Saka limped out of the Gunners' Champions League clash at Bayern Munich.

After a trademark burst forward, Saka cut inside and offloaded the ball to a teammate before immediately going down in pain. It's unclear which part of his leg he had hurt.

Saka signalled to the bench straight away and was afforded medical attention. But he was unable to continue and was replaced by Eberechi Eze after just 10 minutes.

Eze made a telling impact 14 minutes later when he fired Arsenal in front. Martin Odegaard playd a superb cross-field ball into the England star's path on the left flank.

The former Crystal Palace winger took the ball in his stride and lashed home left-footed to put the Gunners ahead. The goal was initially flagged offside but VAR adjudged Eze had held his run.

But old nemesis Harry Kane was heavily involved as Bayern drew level before the break. Kane played a sumptuous through ball for Alfonso Davies who went in one-on-one with David Raya and slotted home.

Kane put Bayern in front from the penalty spot in the second half after Jurrien Timber was penalised for handball. But Declan Rice ensured Arsenal would leave with a share of the spoils 10 minutes from time.

The Gunners made it all the way to the final of last season's competition, heartbreakingly losing to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in Budapest.
