Lucas Moura kept Paris Saint-Germain's chances of finishing top of Champions League Group A alive as his header salvaged a 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
An Olivier Giroud penalty and an own goal from Marco Verratti had helped Arsenal overturn
Edinson Cavani's deserved opener for PSG and they appeared on course to clinch top spot.
However, Brazil winger Lucas - who had struck the bar with a wonderfully-struck free-kick earlier in the second-half - levelled proceedings with 13 minutes remaining.
A point was the least Unai Emery's men deserved and Cavani had two gilt-edged opportunities to seal a memorable victory - and top-spot - in the closing stages, but the Uruguayan failed to find the target as both sides had to settle for a point.
PSG consequently go top of the pool due to a superior head-to-head record over Arsene Wenger's men having scored more away goals in the two contests between the teams.
However, with the sides locked on 11 points apiece the fight for top spot in Group A goes to matchday six.
