Arsenal set unwanted Champions League record with Edinson Cavani’s goal

Arsenal have set an unwanted record in their Champions League group stage opener against Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsene Wenger’s men fell behind after just 42 seconds through Edinson Cavani’s well-taken header from Serge Aurier’s cross.

And the Uruguayan’s goal was the earliest the Gunners have conceded in Champions League history.

It’s also the second time Cavani has scored a goal in the Champions League in under a minute.

The PSG star needed just 55 seconds to score against APOEL Nicosia in November 2014.
