17 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Aleksandar Mitrovic
3. He Scored Anderlecht's 90th-Minute Equaliser Against Arsenal In The Champions League As They Came From Three Goals Down To Draw 3-3
Mitrovic is perhaps best-known in England for breaking Arsenal supporters' hearts in the Champions League group-stage match at the Emirates back in November last year. A penalty from Mikel Arteta, as well as strikes from Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, had given Arsenal a 3-0 lead inside 58 minutes - before Anthony Vanden Borre netted twice for Anderlecht. Heading into injury time, Arsenal retained a slender 3-2 lead - only for Mitrovic to pop up with a trademark header and send the travelling Belgian fans into delirium.
