#4 A tale of two penalties – Gray equalised for Burnley but Sanchez had the last say
Trending
Francis Coquelin came on for Arsenal and began to put himself about. The holding midfielder came off the bench to re-enforce the midfield after Xhaka got sent off, but he made a horrible blunder in his own box in the 88th minute. He mistimed his tackle and brought down Barnes in the area.
Burnley’s Andre Gray equalised from the ensuing penalty and made it 1-1. However, with 7 minutes of added time, Arsenal had a glimmer of hope. Despite being a man down, they overloaded the box consistently and their pressure finally came good in the 96th minute when Burnely defender Ben Mee kicked Koscielney in the head, after a ball was played in the air.
It was quite comical yet at the same time a calamity for Burnley, who had just equalised 8 minutes earlier. Alexis Sanchez was a cool customer and scored a paneka penalty by chipping Heaton in the Burnley goal with the last kick of the game.
Replays showed that Koscielney was offside when the ball was played to him. Fortune favours the brave as they say.
