Arsenal's Champions League clash with Bayern Munich sparked major controversy

HARRY KANE'S post-match interview was hijacked by Arsenal fans after the Gunners' 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich.

The former Tottenham star, 30, returned to North London to haunt Arsenal, netting from the penalty spot during the first half.

After the game, Kane stopped to chat to TNT Sports pitchside.

Bizarrely, dozens of Arsenal fans stayed in their seats well after the final whistle.

And it seems they were hellbent on heckling their former foe while he spoke to Laura Woods, Rio Ferdinand and Martin Keown.

Arsenal fans loudly performed their "What do you think of Tottenham? chant" as Kane spoke, clearly picked up on TV cameras.

Woods jokingly asked the striker: "Harry, have you missed this lot?"

To which he replied: "I think they have a soft respect for me."

Ferdinand, 45, quipped: "They love him here don't they."

Incredibly, Tuesday's penalty was Kane's 15th goal against Arsenal.

He has taken his Premier League goalscoring prowess to Germany, netting 32 goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances this season.

But it was Bukayo Saka who got the scoring under way, firing past Manuel Neuer in the 12th minute.

Arsenal old boy Serge Gnabry levelled just six minutes later, before Kane easily sat keeper David Raya down to roll in his penalty and give Bayern the lead just after the half hour.

Substitute Leandro Trossard went on to equalise in the 76th minute to grab his side a 2-2 draw.

The result could have been very different, however, but for two big penalty decisions.

Bayern were blatantly denied a spot kick, with boss Thomas Tuchel claiming that referee Glenn Nyberg admitted to seeing Gabriel deliberately handball.

While Arsenal then felt they should have had a spot kick of their own, when Saka collided with Manuel Neuer in the last minute.

The two sides will reconvene in Germany next Wednesday with a place in the last four up for grabs.
