Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace

29. Palace are trying to make themselves difficult to break down today.

Whether it is working or not is debatable considering they are a goal down.

That said, Henderson has not had a single save to make today.

From SunSport’s Jordan Davies at The Emirates

After 49 shots across their last three home games, Arsenal have finally scored at the Emirates thanks to Gabriel’s header from a corner – attempt No.50

Before that, the early signs were that frustrations were already kicking in with the same old hesitancy in the final third – Gabriel Jesus sending shot No.49 blazing over after a quick turn in the box.

But a brilliant forward pass from Oleksandr Zinchenko to split the Palace back five won the corner, and Declan Rice – an unusual choice for a corner taker – delivered a fine cross.

Gabriel Martinelli would have normally taken the set piece from that side, but with the Brazilian benched, Rice stood up and helped ease the nerves in North London.

Arsenal still look a bit jittery and Mikel Arteta has not been happy with some sloppy play at times, but importantly, they are ahead and as it stands within two points of league leaders Liverpool.

25. The ball is played into the box towards Havertz.

He feels a slight touch from the defender and goes down like a submarine.

The referee gives Crystal Palace a free kick as the Arsenal man looked to catch the ball as he went down.

Bizarre decision by the German.
