class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The England international delivered a perfectly weighted pass to <strong>Alphonso Davies<\/strong>, who advanced into the penalty area and calmly slotted past David Raya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The equalizer kept both European heavyweights level at 1-1 at half-time, setting up an exciting second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

found their breakthrough when Jurri\u00ebn Timber handled Kane&#8217;s goal-bound effort inside the penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The referee awarded a penalty, and <strong>Kane confidently converted to register his 16th career goal against Arsenal<\/strong>, sending Raya the wrong way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bayern led 2-1 and looked set to
