We grabbed a late equaliser in the BayArena on Wednesday night, to draw 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of our Champions League round of 16 tie.
Kai Havertz returned to his old stomping ground to convert a well-taken penalty, won by fellow substitute Noni Madueke.
Robert Andrich gave Leverkusen the lead early in the second half before we responded in the closing stages, with the tie now on a sixpence ahead of Tuesday’s return leg in north London.
You can watch the key moments now by pressing play on our highlights package above, with a full match replay to follow on Thursday evening.
