Poland striker Emmanuel Olisadebe came off the bench to earn Panathinaikos a 2-2 draw with Arsenal with a late equaliser in their Champions League Group E match tonight, thanks to poor goalkeeping by Jens Lehmann.
The English champions had gone in front after 18 minutes when Fredrik Ljungberg lifted the ball over Kostas Chalkias from close range after being set up by Jose Antonio Reyes.
But Panathinaikos began the second half in determined mood and equalised after 65 minutes when Ezequil Gonzalez lobbed the ball over a stranded Lehmann with an acute angled lob 25 metres out on the right flank.
Thierry Henry, made captain in the absence of injured Patrick Vieira, put Arsenal 2-1 ahead when he tucked the ball home in the 74th minute after a fine Ashley Cole cross.
But Olisadebe popped up inside the area nine minutes from time to earn the Greeks a point as he was left unmarked to head home from a corner with Lehmann again floundering.
