Arsenal 2-1 Bayern Munich: Eddie Nketiah pokes in late winner after Robert Lewandowski's leveller

Eddie Nketiah came off the bench to earn Arsenal an encouraging pre-season win against Bayern Munich.

Young striker Nketiah poked in an 88th minute winner just when it seemed Arsenal’s ICC opener at LA Galaxy’s Dignity Health Sports Park against the German champions was heading to penalties.

Arsenal went ahead in the 49th minute when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s cross was turned into his own next by Bayern defender Louis Poznanski.
