Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger praises David Ospina following the goalkeeper's display against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised David Ospina for his performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

The 28-year-old's selection ahead of Petr Cech raised eyebrows, but he managed to keep out Edinson Cavani numerous times after the Uruguayan's first-minute goal.

In the end, Arsenal clawed their way back into the contest through Alexis Sanchez and earned a 1-1 draw at Parc des Princes.

"David Ospina did play very well," the London Evening Standard quotes Wenger as saying. "Tonight he showed his detractors that he is a very good goalkeeper, those who doubted him.

"Last year he made a mistake in the Champions League and everyone jumped all over him. He showed what he's about tonight. I have two world-class goalkeepers. I can give them both games. If they do not play, you can't keep two world-class goalkeepers."

Arsenal's next European game will be at home to Basel.
