Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal

Maxence Lacroix makes the initial mistake.
It was a simple bouncing ball towards him, but his recovery was exceptional. It looked like Jesus was going to be one-on-one, but there was a last ditch sliding challenge.
Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal
Crucial intervention by Maxence Lacroix. Gabriel Jesus, on a hat-trick, turns quickly and races towards goal but Lacroix times a challenge perfectly to put the ball out for a corner.
From the set piece, Gabriel plants a header on the crossbar.
This has been a breathless first half.

A good delivery into the near post area.
Maxence Lacroix gets the first touch and he mistimes it - that could have caused Arsenal a lot of problems.

Raya being pulled up for time-wasting in the 19th minute tells you all you need to know about Arsenal in their Pulis era
James
David Raya timewasting after 18 minutes is crazy. Arsenal really trying to settle already?

Crystal Palace have their first corner of the game. Will Hughes swings the ball in and Maxence Lacroix gets to it, but can only head over.
Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal
Gabriel Jesus is back defending now as he heads away a Crystal Palace free-kick into the box.
Jesus, by the way, is the first player to score five consecutive Arsenal goals in all competitions since Robin van Persie in February 2011.

Couple of things. 1 why has nobody tried to man mark at these Arsenal corners?? 2 Havertz looked dangerously close to being offside and the keepers eyeline there… very quickly checked for the usual forensic VAR ruling out?

Gabriel is having a difficult game so far and he picks up a yellow card as he pulls back Ismaïla Sarr.

On Bukayo Saka's injury...
When Bukayo Saka was signalling and when the physio went on, Saka was holding his knee.
It looked very obviously like a knee injury,

Jesus saves. It’s just a shame Raya doesn’t!

Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal
I was getting a bit worried for Crystal Palace earlier in this season but they seem to have really clicked under Oliver Glasner now. They look dynamic, exciting going forward and attack with pace.

If Jesus takes his mask off and R9 is under it I won't be surprised. This standard of finishing is world class from him.
Tom
Have Gabriel Jesus and Eirling Haaland swapped football boots?
Gav
Gabriel Jesus have gone through a pokemon evolution and has become a goal scorer now.

Ismaïla Sarr is looking up for this and he shows strength and persistence to win the ball just outside the box before his fierce strike clatters Gabriel on the side of the head.
Palace keep on the attack but the referee stops play so Gabriel can be checked for a possible head injury.

Bukayo Saka knew he wasn't going to be able to continue as soon as he went down. A blow for Arsenal.

Has a player ever scored a hat-trick against the same club within the same week before? Surely not?! Jesus only a goal away.

That's it for Bukayo Saka. He has to go off and on comes Leandro Trossard. A blow for the Gunners.

A minute's applause was held in the 21st minute as Crystal Palace supporters paid tribute to 21-year-old Eagles fan Alfie Atkins, who tragically passed away recently.

Brilliant save from David Raya.
Saliba loses the ball and Palace were two-on-one. Jean-Philippe Mateta is slightly reaching for it, but Raya had the chance to throw himself at Mateta.

Having lost five of their first eight Premier League games this season (D3), Crystal Palace have now lost just one of their last eight (W3 D4), and are unbeaten in their last five (W2 D3). The Eagles are looking for back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since a run of three in May.
Arsenal kept nine clean sheets in 10 Premier League away games between February and September, but since then have conceded in each of their last six on the road. The Gunners last had a longer run without an away shutout between August and December 2019 (7).
Excluding penalties, Arsenal have scored more set piece goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (9). Meanwhile, 35% of Crystal Palace’s 17 Premier League goals this term have come from set pieces (excluding penalties), with only Everton (57%) netting a higher such share.

Four players have had their first Premier League goal for a club come against Arsenal having previously played for the Gunners in the competition – Kevin Campbell (Nottingham Forest, 1995), Nicolas Anelka (Bolton, 2006), David Bentley (Tottenham, 2008) and Konstantinos Mavropanos (West Ham, 2023).
Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has scored more Premier League goals against Crystal Palace than he has vs any other opponent (5). Three of these have been as a substitute, with no Gunners player scoring more from the bench against a specific opponent in the competition.
