Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Selhurst Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Crystal Palace FC and Arsenal FC.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Crystal Palace FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 6' Against the run of play, Gabriel Jesus has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 11' Crystal Palace FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 12' GOAL! Ismaila Sarr fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 15' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Gabriel Jesus makes it 1-2.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 24' It is a substitution in Arsenal FC team. Bukayo Saka is replaced by Leandro Trossard on 24 minute.
  • 29' Arsenal FC come into this ranked 3 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 32' The referee shows Arsenal FC player a card on 32.
  • 36' Jurrien Timber has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 36.
  • 38' What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 1-3.
  • 43' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 48' Crystal Palace FC currently sit 15 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 53' Crystal Palace FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 58' The Arsenal FC manager makes a substitution. Kai Havertz departs to be replaced by Declan Rice.
  • 60' Assisted by Declan Rice with the perfectly-timed delivery and Martinelli makes no mistake. 1-4!

  • 73' Leandro Trossard is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Arsenal FC tonight.
  • 78' 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 Declan Rice suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' The referee calls foul for Nathaniel Clyne. He receives a card.
  • 81' Time for substitution for Crystal Palace FC. Nathaniel Clyne is replaced by Caleb Kporha.
  • 84' Magnificent from Declan Rice! That is 32 goals in 356 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
