Edinson Cavani had given PSG the lead 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.
It was a horrendous start for the Gunners when Nacho Monreal failed to get out to Serge Aurier and his delightful delivery was glanced into the corner by Edinson Cavani’s header with just 42 seconds on the clock.
Wenger acknowledged his mistakes by sending on Olivier Giroud and Granit Xhaka in the second half and it paid off.
Alex Iwobi’s drive was parried by Alphonse Areola and Alexis Sanchez drilled home the equaliser.
The Gunners could have won it when Sanchez slipped in Iwobi, but his finish was weak, while David Ospina denied Cavani after the Uruguayan was sent through on goal.
Giroud and Verratti’s petulance both earned them red card in stoppage time, But what did we learn?
If this is to be the last season of Arsene Wenger after 20 years at Arsenal, we will always remember the night he went to Paris and picked what looked like the wrong goalkeeper, who turned out to be the right man in the right place at all the right times to help earn his team a draw against the odds, writes Sam Wallace in Paris.
