Mikel Arteta admits Ben White miss for Arsenal was ‘critical’ in Bayern Munich draw

Mikel Arteta was left to rue a ‘critical’ miss from Ben White in Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Leandro Trossard’s equaliser with 14 minutes remaining earned a draw for the Gunners, who took the lead in the first half through Bukayo Saka before going behind following Serge Gnabry’s goal and Harry Kane’s penalty.

Saka was also furious at the full-time whistle after he was denied a penalty following a collision with Manuel Neuer inside Bayern’s area which was waved away by Swedish referee Glenn Nyberg.

Arteta, meanwhile, believes White’s failure to score his clear-cut chance while Arsenal were 1-0 ahead proved costly for his side.
