Lucky it is only 1-0

After Dembele's early strike, the visitors kept the foot on the throat with three glorious chances inside the first half-hour all missed.

Had those gone in, the tie was all but over, however, Arteta's side gets a reprieve if you want to call it that.

Heading into the second leg just down one goal is certainly good considering how bad it could have been. Yes, Arsenal had its chances to equalize and even hit the lead, but conversely, PSG could have put this tie to bed.
