Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry Celebrates Equalizer Against Former Club Arsenal
Gnabry's Goal Levels Match, Helps Bayern Secure Champions League Draw
Serge Gnabry did not hesitate to celebrate his equalizer for Bayern Munich against his former club Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday. The German international scored in the 24th minute to cancel out Bukayo Saka's opener for the Gunners, helping Bayern secure a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
Gnabry, who spent five years at Arsenal's academy before moving to Bayern in 2016, received a warm welcome from the home crowd before the match. However, he showed no mercy on his old club once the game got underway.
The 27-year-old forward was a constant threat to the Arsenal defense throughout the match. He had several chances to score before finally getting his breakthrough in the first half. After receiving a pass from Kingsley Coman, Gnabry cut inside and fired a low shot into the bottom corner of the net.
Gnabry's goal was a just reward for his performance and helped Bayern get off to a positive start in their Champions League campaign. The German champions will now look to build on this result when they host Arsenal in the return leg on October 11.
Serge Gnabry's Recent Form
Gnabry's goal against Arsenal was his second in three games for Bayern. The German international has been in impressive form since returning from injury and has now scored four goals in his last five appearances.
Gnabry's return to form is a timely boost for Bayern, who have been struggling for goals in recent weeks. The German champions have only scored five goals in their last four matches, so Gnabry's goalscoring form will be a welcome relief for manager Julian Nagelsmann.
Gnabry will be hoping to continue his goalscoring form when Bayern face Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The German champions will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat to Augsburg and close the gap on league leaders Union Berlin.
