Arsenal have been beaten by Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions league semi-final.
Ousmane Dembele got the game’s only goal in the fourth minute, finishing well past David Raya after kiss from the right-hand post.
Arsenal thought they had equalised immediately after half-time when Mikel Merino headed in from Declan Rice’s wide free kick. But the Spaniard was offside and the goal was disallowed after a lengthy VAR review.
There were further chances at both ends with Gianluigi Donnarumma making a vital save from Leandro Trossard, before Goncalo Ramos rattled the crossbar at the other end, but it finished 1-0 to PSG.
The two teams will meet again next Wednesday for the second leg at the Parc des Princes.
