Arsenal have it all to do if they want to reach the Champions League final after Ousmane Dembele’s early goal handed PSG a 1-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.
PSG made a blistering start through Dembele before world-class saves from Gianluigi Donnarumma to deny Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard kept the Gunners at bay.
It was a frustrating night for the Gunners, who saw Mikel Merino’s header ruled out for offside, with the fans venting their fury at referee Slavko Vincic at half time and full time, but it could have been even worse for the north London side had PSG taken one of two clear-cut chances right at death.
