The Gunners were 3-0 up inside the hour mark but a
double from Anthony Vanden Borre gave the visitors hope before
Aleksandar Mitrovic snatched a dramatic equalizer
Arsenal must wait to secure their place in the Champions League knockout
stage after letting a three-goal lead slip at home to Anderlecht.
A Mikel Arteta penalty and brilliant Alexis Sanchez volley put the Gunners firmly in command inside the first half-hour, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looked to have sealed the points when he made it 3-0 on 58 minutes.
But Anderlecht were far from finished, and former Portsmouth star Anthony Vanden Borre struck twice - the second from the penalty spot - to give them hope before Aleksandar Mitrovic snatched a dramatic equaliser at the death.
The Belgians almost opened the scoring after eight minutes when
Dennis Praet's effort deflected off Per Mertesacker and into the
side-netting, but the hosts responded as the returning Aaron Ramsey - in
for Mathieu Flamini – saw a strike blocked and Alexis struck a post
before Chancel Mbemba clumsily brought down Welbeck having found himself
the wrong side of the Arsenal man.A Mikel Arteta penalty and brilliant Alexis Sanchez volley put the Gunners firmly in command inside the first half-hour, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looked to have sealed the points when he made it 3-0 on 58 minutes.
