Arsenal behind after 42 seconds but AlexisSánchez rescues point at PSG

Edinson Cavani glanced PSG ahead after 42
seconds and should have had a hat-trick before
half-time, firing wide after rounding David Ospina
before slipping to fluff a simple finish.

Sanchez rifled in the rebound from Arsenal's first
shot on target.
Alex Iwobi might have had a late Arsenal winner
before Olivier Giroud and PSG's Marco Verratti
were sent off.
Substitute Giroud was brought on to enliven a
tame attacking display and picked up two yellow
cards in his 27 minutes, the second for an
altercation in which Italian midfielder Verratti
also picked up a second yellow.
The Gunners were often exposed by the pace of
Cavani, Angel di Maria and Serge Aurier and
relied on their Colombian goalkeeper Ospina -
preferred to Petr Cech - to keep them in it.
Iwobi's low shot was tipped away by Alphonse
Areola after Sanchez's equaliser, while PSG
would have had a 94th-minute winner had
defender Marquinhos not wastefully headed wide
from close range.
Anything more than a point for Arsenal would
have been harsh on PSG, who outperformed their
Premier League opponents but failed to take
their chances.
