It was a night where both Champions League games finished all square, but both Rio Ferdinand and Martin Keown couldn’t believe how Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka wasn’t awarded a late penalty.
The England international had gone hurtling into Manuel Neuer’s area, and the Bayern Munich keeper simply stood his ground as Saka hung out his right leg and clattered into the German.
As Laura Woods noted in the TNT Sports analysis after the game, it looked as if Saka had played for the decision, but both Ferdinand and Keown strongly disagreed.
Saka himself had to be pulled away from the official at full-time, so incensed was he that he didn’t get a chance to win the game for the Gunners.
Martin Keown claims that 9? out of the top ? European referees would've awarded Bukayo Saka a penalty ?
