Howls of 'off, off, off' from the Palace fans as Francis Coquelin sends Wilfried Zaha sprawling. The Arsenal midfielder was booked a few minutes ago and that could easily have been a second caution. He gets away with that big time.

Arsenal continue to press but they over-do it on the edge of the penalty area - not for the first time.

The corner from the right comes to nothing. Francis Coquelin though picks up the ball fifty yards out and sprays a delicious cross-field pass to Aaron Ramsey. His touch inside the penalty area lets him down and the chance is gone.
Crystal Palace 1-1 Arsenal
A good start to the season for James McArthur.
The Crystal Palace midfielder already has two assists this season, equalling his best ever return for assists in a single Premier League season.
Free-kick for Arsenal in a dangerous position, but the cross from the left is cleared. Arsenal still look a threat. They have a corner...
Image source, ReutersMatthew Penistone: Have to say again a lack of closing down has cost us. No blame on Cech there just too few players putting bodies on the line.
Derek Pillie: Did Koscielny move out of the way of Ward's strike? Watched it back a few times & looks like he should have stopped it.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Arsenal
Take a bow Alex McCarthy.Arsenal break with pace once again and, again, Mesut Ozil is at the centre of it.
His low cross from the left is flicked goalwards by Aaron Ramsey but the Palace goalkeeper brilliantly flings himself to his left to parry the ball away.

Arsenal attempt to get control back as they pass the ball round patiently in midfield. Santi Cazorla spots a hole in Palace's midfield and drives through it. After a bad pass and a spot of pin ball, it ends up back at Cazorla's feet but he shoots horribly over the bar from the edge of the area.

Who saw that coming? Not me.
The Palace fans have gone crazy asJoel Wardfires low into the net from 28 yards to pull his side level.
Yannick Bolasie chests the ball back to James McArthur and his lay-off was clinically drilled home by Ward.
Against the run of play but Palace don't care..

Tom Mason: Sick of the unjust Giroud criticism -people would bash Shearer if he still played for not doing 20 stepovers before shooting
Alistair Wiseman: very Van Bastenesque from Giroud there. People forget last season he broke his leg. Who needs Benzema?

You get the feeling Giroud likes playing against Palace. He has scored on three of his five PL games against Crystal Palace - all coming at Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Arsenal
Here's that Olivier Giroud goal. Incisive play from the Gunners.

Crystal Palace look a tad bit like a punch-drunk boxer at the moment. They are staggering on the ropes, trying to play for time as they get to grips with the battering they are taking. Boss Alan Pardew looks furious...
