Alex Iwobi Arsenal manager wants massive support for forward after own goal

Arsenal were in position to beat Paris St Germain and win their group with only 14 minutes remaining on Wednesday night, only for Alex Iwobi to inadvertently glance the ball past goalkeeper David Ospina.

That leaves the north Londoners level on points with PSG but behind them on a head-to-head record, meaning the French team will take first place if they win their last group match, against minnows Ludogorets on December 6.

“They were average”, added Keane of the Gunners.

“The penalty I think was not a penalty, and we had a penalty [call] but didn’t get it, and I think it was really not fair”. We have a 90 per cent chance to finish second but we’ve not lost a game.

The Frenchman was also disappointed at his side’s inability to hold on to their lead. But we played against a good team tonight as well.

PSG can now turn its attention back to Ligue 1, as they look to close the three-point gap to surprise leaders Nice when they face Lyon on Sunday. “But we played against a good team as well”, he told the club’s official website. Cavani could have won it but headed narrowly wide and scuffed an attempted chip when through. “It’s just about how we did that more consistently”.

But the Uruguay global made no mistake as he slid in to turn Blaise Matuidi’s low cross past Ospina to put PSG in front, as Wenger’s assertion that his side have been “stuttering” of late evident for all to see. An interception in midfield allowed Mesut Özil to slide a pass into Alexis on the right side of the box. The Chilean forward’s footwork proved too quick for Grzegorz Krychowiak who brought him down with his trailing leg for a clear penalty.

Asene Wenger rang the change, starting Olivier Giroud ahead of Theo Walcott after his late leveller against Manchester United.

Arsenal are still to suffer a second loss of the campaign, but performances over recent weeks have done little to inspire confidence.

Having been gifted their equaliser Arsenal were thankful to the visitors again as they took the lead on the hour.

Tempers rose and Cavani scuffled with Aaron Ramsey.

Wenger’s men have suffered defeats at the hands of Barcelona (twice), Bayern Munich (twice), Monaco, and AC Milan in the last six years, and in only one of those campaigns did they top the group. It was the in-form Uruguayan’s 21st goal in 21 games this season.
