Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Arsenal FC get us underway at Emirates Stadium.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aaron Ramsdale made 349 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 8' Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 13' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 18' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 23' Crystal Palace FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 28' Joel Ward has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 336 appearances.
  • 33' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Arsenal FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 38' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 42' The referee shows Arsenal FC player a Yellow card on 42.
  • 43' The referee shows Crystal Palace FC player a Yellow card on 43.
  • 46' Another change for Arsenal FC made on 46 minute. Bukayo Saka leaves to be changed by Albert Sambi Lokonga.
  • 50' Christian Benteke doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 60' Over 60 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crystal Palace FC that had 336 games and scored 395 goals.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Alexandre Lacazette. He replaces Martin Odegaard on 67 minute.
  • 71' Jordan Ayew makes way for Michael Olise at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from Crystal Palace FC.
  • 73' Odsonne Edouard puts Crystal Palace FC on the lead.
  • 78' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Arteta will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 81' A change in the Arsenal FC ranks — Thomas Partey exits the field as Martinelli enters on 81.
  • 82' A change in the Crystal Palace FC ranks — Odsonne Edouard exits the field as James Tomkins enters on 82.
  • 87' It looks surprising Crystal Palace FC does not make any changes. Joachim Andersen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • The final score is 2-2.
