Bukayo Saka angrily chased referee Glenn Nyberg off the pitch after he was denied a last-minute penalty in Arsenal's draw with Bayern Munich,

As the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final entered injury time, the score remained tied, with Saka being sent through on goal.

The electrifying winger seemed to push the ball forward slightly before colliding with Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and falling to the ground.

Despite fervent appeals from both Arsenal players and fans for a penalty kick, referee Glenn Nyberg dismissed their claims and promptly ended the match as he blew the full-time whistle.

Per a video seen by Sports Brief on social media, the Swedish official cited a review by VAR that cleared the incident, but Saka remained visibly enraged.

The Gunners winger sprang to his feet from the treatment table to confront Nyberg as the referee made his way towards the tunnel.

Saka had to be physically restrained by a member of Arsenal's coaching staff in a bid to prevent further confrontation with the referee.

Seeking clarification on why the penalty was not awarded, he was met with silence, leaving the score at 2-2 for the night and Arsenal facing a challenging task ahead in Germany.
