Alex Iwobi grabs late equaliser to deny Bundesliga giants

Alex Iwobi header in added time had earned Arsenal a 1-1 draw in the International Champions Cup game and forced a shootout.
Alex Iwobi grabbed a last-gasp equaliser for Arsene Wenger's side by heading past Christian Früchtl to send the International Champions Cup into penalties.
Iwobi shows great persistence and strength to win a free-kick with three Bayern bodies surrounding him. Maitland Niles whips in the set-piece but it's too high and long and Ramsey scampers to collect out wide.
Arsenal finally got the better of Bayern Munich, albeit in the surroundings of a pre-season friendly in Shanghai after beating Bayern Munich 3-2 on penalties with David Alaba, Renato Sanches and Juan Bernat missing their spot kicks for the German side.
Bayern had led 1-0 up until that point through a ninth-minute Robert Lewandowski penalty after Ashley Maitland-Niles fouled Bernat.
Arsenal's record-signing Alexandre Lacazette had a great chance to level midway midway through the first half but saw his effort saved well by Bayern keeper Tom Starke.
A raft of substitutions disrupted the flow of the contest in the second half but Iwobi impressed in his cameo role before ensuring Arsenal of taking Bayern into the shoot-out.
Arsenal continued their preparation with a bid up friendly game against Chelsea on Saturday, July 22 at the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing.
