Bukayo Saka's attempt to con a penalty from Manuel Neuer was an 'absolute shocker', Chris Sutton has told It's All Kicking Off.

Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final, first leg with Bayern Munich on Tuesday night was delicately balanced at 2-2 when Saka burst through on goal.

It looked at first glance as if Bayern goalkeeper Neuer had tripped Saka as the England forward attempted to play the ball around him to score.

However, Swedish referee Glenn Nyberg waved away Arsenal's penalty appeals and closer inspection showed Saka initiated the contact by extending his right leg towards Neuer.
