    Arsenal 1-2 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace are defending deep as they look to hold on. Gabriel Martinelli plays a deep ball towards the far post, he is looking for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but it is just too long for the striker.

    Gabriel Martinelli is on for Thomas Partey for Arsenal while Patrick Vieira looks to shut up shop, bringing on James Tomkins for Odsonne Edouard.

    Seven minutes to go.

    That's what that goal meant to Patrick Vieira. A huge win if his side can hold on.

    Arsenal 1-2 Crystal Palace

    I haven't covered many Crystal Palace games this season but I have to say I'm impressed with what I've seen of both them and Odsonne Edouard.

    Palace have been aggressive throughout, pressing from the front while Edouard has been a lively presence.

    What did we say about Patrick Vieira's substitutions? Michael Olise provided the assist for what could be the winner with pretty much his first touch since coming on. What an impact.

    Stunning from Edouard, what a piece of business from Palace. Once again they turn the ball over in the middle of the park. He just puts his laces through the ball and there's all sorts of movement in the air, Ramsdale no chance. Palace deserve this. A brilliant finish.

    What a moment this will be for Patrick Vieira if he returns to his old club as a manager for the first time and masterminds a win. His side have got 15 minutes to try and hold on as Nicolas Pepe slams a free kick into the wall.

    GOAL - Arsenal 1-2 Crystal Palacepublished at 73 mins

    Odsonne Edouard

    Wow!

    Crystal Palace's pressing has been brilliant and once again they force a mistake from Arsenal before countering quickly. Conor Gallagher finds Michael Olise, who passes to Odsonne Edouard and he thumps the ball off the underside of the bar and into the back of the net.

    Palace are ahead!

    Fingertip save by Vicente Guaita to push behind Alexandre Lacazette's shot. Big chance, big save!

    Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Patrick Vieira's substitutions have been effective this season and he makes his second of the game as Michael Olise replaces Jordan Ayew.

    Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Great pressing from attack from Crystal Palace to win the ball on the edge of the box but Conor Gallagher's shot is a rash one and well over.

  12. Postpublished at 69 mins

    Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Alexandre Lacazette whips up the crowd after helping to win a corner straight after coming on. Nicolas Pepe's delivery is cleared, the Gunners win another corner soon after, but that is also dealt with.

    Better from Arsenal at the moment.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Arsenal make their second change as Martin Odegaard, who has been disappointing this half, is replaced by Alexandre Lacazette.

    Cheikhou Kouyaté is on for Luka Milivojevic for Palace.

    Marc Guehi spots a clever run by Conor Gallagher and sends the ball long but Aaron Ramsdale is alert to the danger and gets off his line quickly to get to the ball first.

    Nice footwork from Thomas Partey as he twists away from two Crystal Palace players and goes for goal from distance again and, once again, not far off.

    Not to put too fine a point on it but anyone who thinks Arsenal could finish in the top 4 this season is inhabiting an alternate reality

    Half an hour to go and this could go either way. Arsenal could really have been out of sight in the first 15 minutes but Crystal Palace came into the game more and more to deservedly equalise.

    Arsenal are struggling to retain possession a bit now as now Crystal Palace push on again.

    Marc Guehi attempts a shot at goal but it is always going over.

    Arsenal in trouble again as Crystal Palace get forward quickly. Odsonne Edouard runs towards the box as the Arsenal defence backs off. He finds Jordan Ayew, whose decent strike is pushed over by Aaron Ramsdale.
