Arsenal pushed desperately for an equaliser in the closing stages. However, a quickfire double gaffe by Saka threw a spanner in the works.
The 22-year-old was fouled on the edge of the box with seconds remaining. Controversially, he decided to play a quick free kick which didn’t pay off.
Sadly for Gunners fans, he failed to clear the first man with the cross, and the referee blew for full time a few seconds later. One frustrated fan remarked, “What is Saka playing at?
What a waste of space man.” Throughout the evening, Saka was largely ineffective.
In truth, it was a game of few chances. Bayern managed to break the deadlock after Kimmich ghosted into the box and headed home, taking advantage of Takehiro Tomiyasu falling asleep at the back post.
