Sanchez, Ospina rescue Arsenal in Paris

With Petr Cech showing greater susceptibility at the near post in recent times, it may be worth a punt to put Ospina in goal for the Premier League matches, if only to just hand the Czech Republic global a reality check.

Arsenal fell behind with less than a minute played when Edinson Cavani headed past David Ospina, but Sanchez came to the rescue in the dying moments.

“I have two world-class goalkeepers.I can give them both games”. I will repeat that.

“Being on a yellow card, I didn’t want to make waves”, the France worldwide said, as quoted by the Daily Star.

Substitute Olivier Giroud and Marco Verratti were both sent off for second yellow cards after an off-the-ball incident in stoppage time, but Arsenal held on to for a valuable point. “If they do not play, you can’t keep two world-class goalkeepers”. “It’s down to performances and on what he has delivered tonight he has the right to claim to play in the next Champions League game”. Even if they had a lack of efficiency, we are pleased to come back in this game. “And that’s why it’s important to have clear roles when the season starts. If they change, I’ll tell them”.

Asked whether he thought that was the former Nice goalkeeper’s most influential appearance for the London club, Wenger said: “Maybe”.

“Both teams tried to play nice football tonight and it was a good game”, the France worldwide said.

With PSG playing high up the pitch, Arsenal was under constant pressure from Cavani, Di Maria and Verratti, ending the first half without a single shot on target.

“I think it’s a good point, but we came here with our ambition and we wanted three points, but when we start like this, it’s hard to play”, Koscielny told BT Sport post-match.

He said: “It’s a good point for us”.

“I have great confidence in Edi”. He leads the line very well, he makes good runs. They say all’s well that ends well, and a point away from home is great, but if Wenger can’t figure out how to set his team up properly going forward, Arsenal’s struggles will continue.
