Kai Havertz has scored his second goal from Arsenal following some brilliant build-up play from Bukayo Saka.
Saka redeemed a missed penalty earlier in the game, to produce a brilliant piece of play on the right-wing.
The English winger fended off the challenge of Marcos Alonso to lob a ball to the back post which was met by the head of Martin Odegaard before being turned in by Havertz.
The Premier League side have looked lively against Barcelona, with Saka in particular looking impressive.
Kai Havertz scores for Arsenal to make it 2-2.
