Rice Rescues Arsenal in Munich as Como Humble Manchester United

Morning, footy fans: here's what happened in Europe overnight, plus a look at Friday's Test in Canberra.

Rice saves a point at the Allianz
Bayern Munich and Arsenal drew 2-2 in a cracking match. Eberechi Eze came on early for the injured Bukayo Saka and gave the Gunners the lead midway through the first half from a Martin Odegaard pass. Alphonso Davies equalised about ten minutes later. Harry Kane put Bayern ahead from the spot on 61 minutes after the ball hit Jurrien Timber's arm, but Declan Rice ran onto Viktor Gyokeres' lay-off and levelled with eight minutes left. Both clubs are still unbeaten in the competition. Gooners can carry their colours with the Arsenal FC Fade Backpack ($48, in stock).

Saka scare for Arteta
Saka was holding his thigh before he went off. Mikel Arteta admitted the medical staff were "a bit concerned", and there's no diagnosis yet. Arsenal are already without William Saliba (back) and Christos Tzolis (hamstring), and they host Everton this weekend.

Como thrash United
The game in Como went ahead despite the storm warnings, and it went badly for United. Nico Paz scored after two minutes and again on 57 after a loose turn from Carlos Baleba. Tasos Douvikas and Jacobo Ramon also scored before Joshua Zirkzee got a late consolation. United have now gone seven games without a win in all competitions.

Carrick says sorry
Michael Carrick called the performance unacceptable, said "it stops with me" and walked over to the travelling fans at full-time. Bournemouth come to Old Trafford on Sunday. Whether you're drowning your sorrows or toasting a turnaround, the Manchester United FC Mono Crest Stein Glass Tankard ($40) is in stock.

Real Madrid stay perfect
Madrid beat RB Leipzig 4-1 at the Bernabeu. Bernardo Silva scored his first goal for the club, Arda Guler and Kylian Mbappe added more, and record signing Yan Diomande volleyed in a late screamer against his old club. That's three wins from three ahead of Sunday's Clasico at Barcelona. Practise your own finishing with the Real Madrid CF Tracer Football ($36, size 5).

Villa keep rolling
Aston Villa beat Viking 3-1 for their third straight Champions League win. Ross Barkley headed the opener, Emiliano Buendia scored a penalty, and Viking's Henrik Heggheim turned in an own goal before Peter Christiansen pulled one back.

Around Europe
Inter edged Shakhtar 1-0, Club Brugge beat Lens 3-0, Galatasaray won 4-2 at Lille, Real Betis beat Feyenoord 1-0, and LASK stunned Sporting 3-2 in Lisbon.

Scotland reshuffle for Canberra
Scotland's interim coach Dave Butcher has made three changes for Friday's Test against the Wallaroos. Aicha Sutcliffe makes her first start at hooker, Sarah Bonar is back in the second row and Chloe Rollie returns at fullback. The Wallaroos have won the last two meetings 30-10 and 56-12.
