The Gunners are in the last-eight of the iconic competition for the first time since 2009-10 and enjoyed the perfect start.

And the Gunners were left fuming after Bukayo Saka skipped around Manuel Neuer in the dying minutes of the game before collapsing to the ground.

Saka and 60,000 Arsenal fans, as well as the commentators were adamant that the referee should have pointed to the spot.

But Glenn Nyberg waved play-on as the first leg ended in an enthralling draw.

Surprised it wasn't a penalty, says Halsey

By Mark Halsey

SOME will say that Bukayo Saka initiated the contact, but Manuel Neuer stuck out his leg.

I was surprised Glenn Nyberg did not award Arsenal a penalty in real time at the end.

Bayern Munich could have no complaints if it was given, they got away with one.

Munich were very lucky.

It is subjective, so maybe that is why VAR did not get involved.

Had it been given, the decision would not have changed.
