Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira agonizingly came close to inflicting a famous defeat on his former employers at their home.
Vieira, with his Crystal Palace, charges received a sucker 95th-minute blow from substitute Alexandre Lacazette…that sent the former Arsenal captain to the Emirates tuff.
The two teams battled to an entertaining 2-2 draw to consign Arsenal to position 12th on the log.
Vieira, who ampers ambitions of coaching the gunners rued his team’s inability to clear its lines as the gunners came out blazing in search of a precious point.
Arsenal, a dominant force in English football during the Viera and Thierry Henry playing days has fallen in the pecking order, allowing its noisy neighbors Tottenham to leapfrog them.
