That wraps things up here on Tribe, thanks for joining us. Arsenal come away with a hard-earned three points against a Paris Saint-Germain side who continue to struggle away in England. We've got all the remaining Champions League action coming your way tomorrow, so see you then.
Arsenal return to Premier League action on Saturday when they welcome Southampton to the Emirates. That should be a routine home victory against a side without a win since returning to the top flight. PSG will also look to get back to winning ways and maintain their unbeaten domestic form when they travel to Nice on Sunday evening. PSG welcome PSV Eindhoven to Paris in their third league phase game in three weeks, while Arsenal face another home game against Shakhtar Donetsk.
This wasn't an embarassing performance from PSG like it was when they crashed 4-1 at Newcastle in last season's group stage. It had the potential to after the first half saw them go in two goals behind, but whatever Luis Enrique said at half-time had an impact. PSG dominated possession and territory in the second half but just lacked that final ball or killer quality to pull themselves back into the game. Joao Neves showed some lovely touches while Achraf Hakimi was always a threat going forward down the right. It's clear though that PSG miss the influential presence of Kylian Mbappe spearheading the attack. How they resolve that issue is likely to determine how far they can progress in the Champions League this season.
Mikel Arteta will be delighted to secure another clean sheet and three points to go with the away point they earned at Atalanta a fortnight ago. Clinical in attack in the first half, they could have added more in the second half but Gabriel Martinelli spurned two decent chances that came his way. This was a solid test for the Gunners and one they'll be delighted to pass. PSG posed them a number of problems, particularly down the flanks, and the woodwork did come to their rescue on one occasion in the second half. For the most part though the hosts looked in complete control of this game and that is what will no doubt please Arteta the most.
Arsenal are triumphant on home soil against the French champions after an impressive first-half display in attack, and a resilient defensive performance in the second. PSG showed plenty of endeavour and dominated possession after the break, but they couldn't find a way through this Arsenal defence. Winning against another top side puts the Gunners in a good place to push on for a top eight finish in this inaugural league phase.
90+5'
PSG win a late free kick high on the right. Lee Kang-In's curling delivery is headed clear. Bradley Barcola then lifts a cross in from the left. It's a tricky one but David Raya does well to claim it in the air. That should be that.
90+3'
Lee Kang-In's delivery from the left bounces off the back of Gabriel Jesus' legs. David Raya is alert at his near post and smothers the danger.
