Paris St Germain's stuttering start to the season continued when they were held to a 1-1 home draw by Arsenal in their Group A opener.
The hosts enjoyed a dream start when Edinson Cavani put them ahead in the first minute but PSG wasted a handful of chances before Alexis Sanchez equalised in the second half.
Cavani headed home after 44 seconds but gradually let Arsenal fight their way back into the game until Sanchez fired home from just inside the box in the 78th minute.
Both sides ended with 10 men after Arsenal's Olivier Giroud tangled with PSG's Marco Verratti and both were shown red cards.
French champions PSG, who took only one point from their last two Ligue 1 games, next travel to Ludogorets while Arsenal will host Basel on September 28.
