Arsenal 2-2 PSG: Iwobi scores own-goal as visitors secure a point

Nigerian youngster, Alex Iwobi scored an own goal against his club as Premier League (EPL) side Arsenal and French champions Paris St. Germain played out a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium.

Unai Emery’s men took the lead through in-form striker Edinson Cavani in the 18th minute but the hosts leveled on the stroke of halftime courtesy Oliver Giroud from the spot.

Arsenal went ahead for the first time on the night on the hour mark after Italian midfielder Marco Veratti put through his own net but the visitors bounced back following an own goal from Iwobi, who played 77 minutes before he was replaced by Granit Xhaka, 13 minutes from time.
