Preston North End vs. Arsenal: Score and Reaction from 2017 FA Cup

Preston North End almost caused the shock of the 2017 FA Cup third round, as they took the lead against Arsenal at the Deepdale Stadium but lost 2-1 after a last-minute strike by Olivier Giroud on Saturday.

The pulsating cup tie saw the hosts take the lead as Arsenal struggled, but two second-half efforts rescued the Gunners from embarrassment.

A shock goal from Callum Robinson gave Preston the lead after Arsenal's defence collapsed in the seventh minute, and the scorer benefited from a significant deflection as the ball hit the Gunners' net.

Arsenal levelled the game just 50 second into the second half.
