Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain played out to a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium in a Champions League Group A encounter on Wednesday night.

PSG striker Edinson Cavani gave his side the lead in the 18th minute from close range at the far post, before Olivier Giroud levelled matters from the penalty spot in the last minute of the first half after Alexis Sanchez was fouled in the area by Grzegorz Krychowiak.

The Gunners took the lead after the break when Marco Verratti directed the ball into his own net after the ball scrambled in the PSG box.

However, Lucas Moura scored an equalising goal with 13 minutes remaining when he was left unmarked far-post to header his effort at goal, but the ball deflected off Alex Iwobi’s head as David Ospina dived to save the ball.
