Havertz haunts former club as Arsenal rescue 1-1 draw at Leverkusen

Arsenal's eight-game winning run in the Champions League came to an end as they needed an 89th-minute penalty from substitute Kai Havertz to rescue a 1-1 draw at Bayer ​Leverkusen in their last-16 first leg on Wednesday, Reuters reported. 

Former Leverkusen player Havertz converted the latespot kick to cancel out Robert Andrich's 46th-minute header for the hosts, marking the first time this season that quadruple-chasing Arsenal had fallen behind in Europe's elite competition.

The sides will meet again on Tuesday in London for the return leg ​and a spot in the quarter-finals, according to Reuters.
