The substitute's low finish made it 2-2 on a night of controversy and high drama, and means Arsenal go to Bavaria next Wednesday level in the quarter-final tie but with Bayern narrow favourites, even if away goals no longer count in the Champions League knockout stages.
Arteta can reflect that it might have been so much better for his side had they maintained their composure at the back and turned the screw after Bukayo Saka gave them an early lead, but it could also have been so much worse.
When Leroy Sane raced clear with Bayern leading 2-1 through Serge Gnabry's equaliser and a Harry Kane penalty, it was easy to wonder fleetingly if Arsenal were heading for a humbling defeat.
Luckily, Ben White got back to put off the Bayern winger.
For all their strides forward, the Premier League leaders are still green on this stage, and the match was a classic demonstration that any slip-up will usually be punished by a team such as Bayern, with both the visitors' goals of Arsenal's own making.
Gabriel's loose pass under pressure from Kane was intercepted by Sane, with Jakub Kiwior and Declan Rice both leaden-footed, and Gnabry finished through the legs of a hesitant David Raya against his former club.
