This Monday, Arsenal missed a great chance to get closer to the G4 of the Premier League. If they won Crystal Palace in the eighth round of the competition, they would be positioned two points behind the group. However, this was not the case. The match ended in a draw 1-1
Arsenal opened the scoring after 8 minutes with the ball rolling. Nicolas Pépé invaded the area from the right and hit the opposite corner. The goalkeeper still managed to palm, but Emerick Aubameyang checked the rebound.
The advantage extended until the 5th minute of the second half, when Palace’s attack took advantage of the opponent’s defense to, at the feet of Benteke, make everything equal in the match. The team even came to the turn, at 28, with a beautiful shot by Odsonne Edouard to beat goalkeeper Ramsdale.
However, in the last minute of the game, at 49, Lacazette took advantage of the bounce in the penalty area to send the goal to an empty goal.
Now, Mikel Arteta’s team has 11 points in the table, which leaves them in 11th place in the League. Palace has eight points, in 14th position.
For the next round of the Premier League, Arsenal host Aston Villa this Friday. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, faces Newcastle, at home, on Saturday.
