With just a matter of seconds left on the clock, Declan Rice stood over a corner as the Gunners desperately scrambled for an equaliser.

Set-piece mastermind Jover walked out to the edge of his technical area and began to gesture towards his players.

Rice then whipped the ball in but a foul was given for a nudge on PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

It made Jover furious and he angrily confronted the fourth official.

Arteta had to pull him away before the boss then started his own row with the assistant ref.
