Harry Kane breaks scoring record against Arsenal with Bayern Munich penalty
Tottenham Hotspur's all-time leading goalscorer returned to a hostile Emirates atmosphere amid an incredible start to life in Bavaria, scoring 38 goals in his first 37 matches for Bayern Munich.
A perpetual nemesis of Arsenal's during his time in the Premier League, Kane struck 14 goals in 19 North London derbies, making the Gunners his third-most favourite opponent after Leicester City (20) and Everton (16).
On his 20th appearance against the Gunners, Kane and his Bayern teammates were initially downcast, as the former's England colleague Bukayo Saka smartly finished into the bottom corner to break the deadlock.
However, a first-half defensive implosion from Mikel Arteta's men saw Bayern turn the tide, as Serge Gnabry — a one-time Arsenal winger — firstly levelled the scores with a low strike through the legs of David Raya.

The 30-year-old was facing up to a stadium full of Arsenal fans owing to Bayern supporters being barred entry, but he calmly rolled the ball into the bottom corner after seeing Raya make up his mind early.
Kane's cool spot kick to put Bayern 2-1 up marked his sixth goal at the Emirates Stadium, and he now holds the record for the most goals scored by a visiting player at Arsenal's new home.
