JENS Lehmann narrowly avoided conceding an embarrassing goal on his return to competitive action with Arsenal in a reserve match against Wigan Athletic.
The 41-year-old German keeper, who came out of retirement this month to rejoin his former club, was his usual talkative self but just before halftime he missed the ball as he attempted to kick it clear and watched it roll narrowly past the post.
Arsenal was reduced to 10 men and Lehmann was powerless to stop Wigan scoring twice to secure a 2-1 victory.
Lehmann was a member of Arsenal's "Invincibles" side which won the 2003-04 Premier League without losing a match.
Meanwhile, Arsenal said that a German tourist has admitted throwing a banana on to the pitch during Brazil's 2-0 friendly victory over Scotland at the Emirates Stadium. Brazil striker Neymar complained that he had been the target of racist abuse.
