Eleven minutes later, Arsenal found the equalizer: Saka made a good individual play and crossed to Merino, who scored with a header.

With a man advantage, Arsenal pressed forward, including bringing back Gyokeres. But they were stopped by a fine performance from goalkeeper Sánchez, who secured the draw.
