Arsenal 179 goal legend remarks

Ian Wright has expressed his views on footage of Bukayo Saka's clash with Manuel Neuer.

Arsenal had a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarterfinals in the 2023-24 season, which took place at the Emirates Stadium in London, England at 4 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams will have their second match at the Allianz Arena in Munich at 4 a.m. on Sunday.

Arsenal scored the first goal in the early hours. In the 12th minute of the first half, Saka, who rushed inside the penalty box, received a pass from Ben White. Saka wasted no time and hit a left-footed shot, and hit the net.

However, Arsenal immediately gave up the lead. Arsenal's defense showed signs of instability in the 18th minute of the first half, conceding possession of the ball near the halfway line. They gave Munich a chance for a counterattack and allowed Serge Nabri to score an equalizer. They even scored the come-from-behind goal. William Saliba scored a penalty kick in the 32nd minute of the first half, and Kane scored.

However, Arsenal did not stay put either. In the 31st minute of the second half, Gabriel Jesus tricked several defenders from inside the box. He connected it to Leandro Trossar, who was running behind him, and Trossar finished the game as it was. The game ended 2-2.

There was a scene of controversy. Shortly before the match ended, Thomas Partey stabbed a through pass to Saka, who penetrated from the right side in stoppage time. Saka ran towards the ball flowing inside the penalty box. After taking the ball touch with his left foot, his right foot tripped over the leg of goalkeeper Neuer, who left the goal empty. The referee did not declare a penalty.

Arsenal legend Wright made a firm stance on this scene. Wright had 179 goals and 21 assists in 278 matches for Arsenal alone. The Sun reported on Thursday that Arsenal legend Wright made the right decision. According to media, Wright firmly said that it was not a penalty kick in my opinion.

Controversy continues. Martin Keane, who played 440 matches for Arsenal, said, "If there were 10 referees, nine of them would have declared a penalty. Today's referee would be the only referee who did not award a penalty. It is very surprising."

Ali McCoist, who coached for Rangers, was on the same page as Wright. "Obviously, I got to the ball before Neuer, but there was a scene where I threw my right leg," he said.
