Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Selhurst Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' The 24-year-old Riccardo Calafiori has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' Crystal Palace FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 25' Arsenal FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 30' Rio Cardines, a Trinidad & Tobago , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 35' Crystal Palace FC are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against Arsenal FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 40' It looks surprising Arsenal FC does not make any changes. Martinelli has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 42' A goal from the Brazil international Gabriel Jesus! He fires home on 42 to make it 0-1!
- 47' Myles Lewis-Skelly is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Arsenal FC tonight.
- 48' Noni Madueke doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 414 games and scored 725 goals.
- 58' It is a cagey affair so far. Crystal Palace FC in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Arsenal FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 63' It looks like no one’s ball. Arsenal FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 68' Over 68 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 73' A quiet spell here at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 74' That is a card for Arsenal FC. Gabriel Jesus will be fuming at that decision.
- 79' Crystal Palace FC have won 376 goals from 322 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 84' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Crystal Palace FC and Arsenal FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 89' The France Jean-Philippe Mateta breaks the deadlock on 89 minutes. 1-2!
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
