Bukayo Saka and Arsenal are incensed they did not get a penalty at the end of their 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich, after Manuel Neuer looked to have brought down the Gunners striker

Bukayo Saka and his Arsenal teammates were fuming after being denied a penalty at the end of their Champions League draw with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

Substitute Leandro Trossard came on to score the equalising goal for the Gunners 15 minutes from time, but there were calls for them to have a shot at taking a lead into next week’s reverse leg.

Saka burst into the Germans’ penalty area, and looked to have taken it around the goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, only for the shot-stopper to bring him down – and the referee quickly waved it away. 

Saka was seen confronting the Swedish referee Glenn Nyberg after the full-time whistle was blown. 

TNT Sports Rio Ferdinand and Martin Keown were left in disbelief at the referee’s decision to not award Arsenal a penalty. 

However on commentary, Ally McCoist accused Saka of ‘throwing his foot in’, before adding: ‘The referee might just have got that one correct, because I don’t think Saka needs to throw his right leg into him.’ 

The Scottish football icon added: ‘He definitely got there first, but there’s an element, he throws his right leg into him.’
