Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Arsenal FC get us underway at Selhurst Park.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Nicolas Pepe suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Arsenal 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.
- 12' GOAL! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores on 12. Assisted by Alexandre Lacazette
- 17' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 22' David Luiz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 27' Reiss Nelson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 18 goals in his last 409 appearances.
- 32' Over 32 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 37' The energy levels are beginning to show. Roy Hodgson might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 42' 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.
- 44' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Nicolas Pepe.
- 46' Time for substitution for Arsenal FC. Lucas Torreira is replaced by Matteo Guendouzi.
- 51' Controversy at the stadium! Ainsley Maitland-Niles argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 54' Jordan Ayew does the damage! The net is bulging and Crystal Palace FC surge ahead!
- 59' The 35-year-old Alexandre Lacazette has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 64' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 65' Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is having his name booked by the referee on 65.
- 67' Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 67.
- 68' Crystal Palace FC ring the changes. Max Meyer has done his job and it is now time for Cenk Tosun to step up.
- 70' A tactical swap from Arsenal FC — Martinelli on, Mesut Ozil off on 70 minutes.
- 71' James McCarthy is having his name booked by the referee on 71.
- 76' James McArthur, a Scotland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 81' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 81 minutes.
- 85' James Tomkins catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 85.
- 90' Arsenal FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
- 90' Fresh legs for Arsenal FC! Reiss Nelson comes on to replace Alexandre Lacazette.
