Guendouzi on for Torreira - let's hope the Uruguayan isn't out for long, he's been excellent since Arteta started playing him in his best position.

Lost count now.............

Ayew/Ref a joke

Maitland-Niles doing a very good job on Zaha so far - touch wood.

Edit: and that was a harsh yellow card.

Good God..............

Jammy buggers - and no VAR get out of jail free card for us

And there it is ..

1 - 1

Bad bad foulfrom Aubameyang.........

Poss red

Bummer. Red card for Aubameyang thanks to VAR.

ffs

Soz but deserved.

Come on Arsenal......

I give up. Utter joke. We’ve been on the receiving end of those tackles game in game out for years, he doesn’t go off his feet. Where is the consistency. Red card and 3 game ban for Aubameyang. Var has no need to get involved.

Seeing the challenge I don’t think we have too much to argue about with the red card.

What is questionable is why Aiyew hasn’t so much as got a yellow for all the fouls he’s committed.

Martinelli for Özil. Hopefully another livewire performance from him.

On video it looks very bad. Can't complain of the red card.

I can’t agree with that. VAR got it spot on, unfortunately

I think he was in mid air when he connected with Meyer's ankle. If that was against one of our players I'd be calling for a red.

Palace have successfully turned the game into a scrap, which obviously suits them more than it suits us.

We are a different outfit with Torreira on the pitch. Guendouzi is still a bit headless.

Definite red too imo. Missed Chelsea away now amongst others.

Bugger

Phew. Well done Sokratis. Bailed us out there.

Guendozi is indeed clueless on the field

Guendouzi needs better decision making. Really needs to be properly coached. Watch videos, training pitch, whatever.

Pépé needs to get his finger out

Why are Palace players surrounding the ref? He’s got goal line tech, the dumbness of footballers knows no bounds

What was Leno doing there?
We are in panic mode

It may leave gaps but we need a quick counter in possession. Building up from the back with 10 men is not going to work.

SO CLOSE!!

Aaaaaaahhhhh! Almost, almost, almost.

How lucky can they get?

We will see more of Martinelli in the next 3 games

How lucky have Palace been!? Ridiculous deflection for their goal now Pépé off the post and straight back to their gk as Lacazette waits for the tap in

That's a great save from Pépé's shot. Damn it.

Pépé needs to get his finger out

Luiz ffs!

The VAR referee was happy to let that go

That's an excellent conversion- oh wait, wrong game...

Ffs beaten by another ref...........

Eh? How do you work that out?

Pépé's bad decision making is frustrating. Maybe he's trying too hard to justify his fee and slow start. Needs to review some game film.

Good idea, what Mikel needs is experts like you on the coaching staff

Well done Kola, soak it to Ayew
