Arsenal 3 - Anderlecht 3: ARSENAL missed the chance to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League for the 17th time in a row after throwing away a three goal lead at the Emirates.

The hosts immediately took the game to the game to the
Belgians, and piled the pressure on the visitors.
And the early onslaught payed off in the 24th minute when
Chancel Mbemba clumsily brought down Danny Welbeck in the
box and handed the Gunners an early opportunity to take the
lead.
Club captain Mikel Arteta stepped up to take spot-kick and cooly
fired the home-side into a much deserved lead.
Arsene Wenger's men continued to turn up the heat on Belgian
champions, and doubled their lead four minutes later through
Alexis Sanchez.
The Gunners continued to flex their muscles throughout the
first-half but failed to extend their lead.
But they added a third in the 58th minute when good pressure
from Sanchez led to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain being put through
on Proto's goal.
Anderlecht pulled a goal back two minutes after Oxlade-
Chamberlain's strike through former Portsmouth star Anthony
Vanden Borre to give their supporters hope of an unlikely
comeback.
12 minutes later the visitors further reduced the deficit after a
clumsy foul from Nacho Monreal lead to another penalty, which
Vanden Borre calmly dispatched to make the last quarter of an
hour a nervy one for the Gunners.
And the nerves got to weakend defensive in the 90th minute
when Aleksandar Mitrovic got on the end of a cross from Andy
Najar to earn the Belgians an unlikely draw.
