Arsenal 2-2 Bayern: Harry Kane fumes at ‘stupid’ Gabriel handball

Harry Kane raged that Gabriel's handball fiasco last night was the 'clearest penalty I've ever seen' while his Bayern Munich comrades fumed at a 'stupid' situation.

MailOnline reports that Arsenal defender Gabriel handled the ball in the second half after David Raya played a short pass to him, with Bayern leading 2-1 at the time.

Refeee Glenn Nyberg had blown his whistle but there was a misunderstanding, with Gabriel thinking he was taking the goal kick.

Nyberg was lenient and allowed play to continue – a decision that sparked wrath on the pitch, on the sidelines, and in Germany – before Arsenal went on to equalise through Leandro Trossard.

‘We should have gotten a clear penalty when the referee blew his whistle,’ Kane vented.

‘The goalkeeper passed the ball and Gabriel took it into his hands. That’s the clearest penalty I’ve ever seen.’

Bayern had to settle for a 2-2 draw in a thrilling match. Bukayo Saka had put Arsenal ahead in the first half, but Serge Gnabry equalised and Kane put them ahead from the spot.

Muller was seething with the decision to let Gabriel off the hook. He said: ‘The referee saw it clearly. The mistake was just too stupid and too petty for him to award a penalty. But he doesn’t have to decide that.
