FT: PSG 1-1 Arsenal. Alexis Sanchez struck late to rescue Arsenal as they secured a fortunate 1-1 draw at Paris Saint Germain in their Champions League Group A opener. Edinson Cavani gave the hosts an early lead but then wasted a series of chances to seal the triumph. The teams finished with 10-men as Verratti and Giroud saw red for second yellows while Ospina shone in goal for the Gunners to justify Wenger's decision to drop Cech. This is a great result for Arsenal in what is surely their most difficult fixture in Group A.
CLOSE! Marquinhos somehow fails to convert at the far post after Di Maria's right-wing corner had been flicked on!
Didn't seem like much in the challenge...
Red card
M. Verratti
TWO MEN OFF! A crazy finale! Giroud and Veratti both pick up second yellows and the teams will each finish with 10 men.

No real pressure from the hosts. They look a bit lost now. Arsenal playing time down.
Four minutes added. Can PSG find a winner?
UPDATE: Seventh heaven for Barca against Celtic...
Giroud booked.

This will be a superb result for Arsenal if they can hold on here.
Infostrada stat: Sanchez scored his first CL away goal for Arsenal in his seventh away appearance for the club. His last CL away goal came almost four years ago, on 2 October 2012, when Barcelona won 2-0 at Benfica.

It's all happening now. End to end. Iwobi with a chance on the left of the area but Areola makes a decent stop to keep it out.
Exactly!
Ospina produces more heroics! Cavani tries to round the keeper in the area but the Colombian gets a fine touch on it to divert it to safety.
PSG CHANGE: Krychowiak off, Pastore on.

Arsenal very fortunate to still be in this. PSG and Cavani in particular only have themselves to blame.
