Kane has scored more Premier League goals against Arsenal (14) than anybody else
Report By Phil McNulty, Chief football writer at Emirates Stadium.
Harry Kane returned to north London with a goal as Arsenal's Champions League hopes were left hanging in the balance after they fought out a draw with Bayern Munich in the quarter-final first leg at Emirates Stadium.
Kane, Tottenham's record goalscorer, received a predictably hostile reception from Arsenal's supporters, who saw the Gunners make the perfect start when Bukayo Saka's low finish put them ahead after only 12 minutes.
Bayern belied their poor form in the Bundesliga to turn the game around before the break as former Arsenal forward Serge Gnabry swept home the equaliser six minutes later.
Kane's moment arrived when William Saliba tripped Leroy Sane at the end of a blistering run after 32 minutes. The England captain stepped forward for the resulting penalty and silenced the taunts with his 15th goal in 20 appearances against Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta's side were not at their fluent best but substitute Leandro Trossard was the beneficiary of outstanding work by Gabriel Jesus to equalise.
Arsenal felt they should have had a penalty in the final seconds of stoppage time but the referee waved away their appeals when Saka went down as he was challenged by keeper Manuel Neuer.
The Gunners were arguably also fortunate not to concede a penalty themselves earlier in the half, when Gabriel picked the ball up with his hands after the referee had signalled for a goal-kick to be taken.
Several Bayern players complained at the time but the referee swiftly waved their appeals away.
The second leg in Munich is on Wednesday, 17th April.

Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane, speaking to TNT Sports: "It was a tough game. Of course we are never happy when we don't win. You've seen it over the past couple of years, Arsenal have had a good go at trying to win the league and they are top of the league for a reason."
On his goal from the penalty spot: "It was one of them when I have done a bit of research of his games against Porto. it was nice to see him go early and make it easier for me."
More from Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane, speaking to TNT Sports: "Having no fans here tonight was tough. Having a full stadium [next week] will push us on.
"We had a big chance to go 3-1 up but Leroy [Sane] didn't put it away unfortunately.
"It's been an amazing experience in Germany personally. To see a different culture and a different league. The league is gone this season but I am there for a long time.
"You saw a real determined team today. We had to show togetherness and show fight. Today was small step in the right direction."
On Thomas Tuchel leaving at the end of the season: "It's a little bit strange if I am totally honest. All I can say is he has given everything in every training session."
