Nice to see we are a goal up. Aubameyang!

Aubameyang and Pépé both working hard off the ball to make defensive contributions winning the ball back

Emile Smith Rowe shoots at the gk from 25 yards, should have really played in Pépé who was in a very good position.

When we get the ball back off them around half way and get players like Saka and Emile Smith Rowe running at them in central areas we look threatening

Nice to see plenty of hard work off the ball. Just occasionally Tomiyasu getting exposed a little on our right.

Great example there of Ben whites passing range helping us transition the play much quicker. Those 2 look the strongest defensive partnership we have had for some time.

Not much of the ball for us in the last 15 minutes, we seem content to let Palace have it comfortably in their own half.

Yes, and the occasional half chance coming their way.

That's a clear booking for the trip on Emile Smith Rowe - not given

Sometimes I think refs are too quick to finish an advantage. Emile Smith Rowe was clearly fouled, he waved play on and Arsenal immediately tried to switch a long ball which didn't work, it was no more than 2-3 seconds after the foul - for me play should come back because no advantage was gained

We are losing initiative to Palace. This always happens after a good spell of control by us. Why can't we keep our momentum up ?

Part of our problem right now is not winning enough of the longer balls Palace are playing up to their front 3......and even with the scraps we're not picking up enough 2nd balls. When we do get it we seem to be going too direct too quickly and lose it too easily. Not yet established any sort of control of the game

Mike dean is making it all about himself again now.

Someone’s walking in this game I’m telling you.

Such double standards from Dean - Saka booked for exactly what McArthur got away with, and an earlier foul on Saka when Dean played advantage.

Ødegaard anonymous so far, need him on the ball much more just popping it around and keeping possession for a bit

So McCarther should basically have been sent off that’s 2 obvious yellows. No wonder rich moans

Hes definitely had 2 clear yellow cards, but I think there is always a mitigation when the first yellow isn't given if you think does the player make the second foul if he knows he's already on a yellow? No excuse for the inconsistency from Dean though

We've definitely lost the initiative in the last 20 mins. I'd like to see Lokonga on to beef up the midfield in the second half.

Arteta needs to give them a bit of a rollicking to be honest. Giving them way too much respect and Ødegaard should be dragged off if we had better options on the bench he's Not in the game at all.

Thank god we got the goal because we've generally been poor and Palace have dictated most of that half, certainly after the goal.

picking up second balls is a big problem right now. Emile Smith Rowe and Ødegaard not getting on the ball anywhere near enough for players playing in central midfield. This is the sort of performance where you can see how much of a platform Xhaka gives us to play.

Aubameyang's workrate has been very good, never seen him run and close down and track back so much

Credit to Dean for not calling penalty for that Benteke fall. Benteke fell at the slightest touch when he knew Partey had already cleared his ball.

Watched that McArthur foul on Saka again. I think it’s very naughty. The whistle had already gone for the handball but it was close enough after the whistle for McArthur to have a free go at Saka with the lack of time after the whistle being his defence. For me he can absolutely pull out of that swipe or at least minimise the force of the contact.

Lokonga coming on for Saka. Possibly feeling the effects of that very poor McArthur foul

to be honest Partey had a few of those in the first half as well, he's been slow and sloppy today, wanting too much time on the ball and Palace are pressing high.

Sickening start to the half

The way we are playing we are going to lose this. Tempo needs to be upped big time

Just what I was thinking. We're second best at the moment.

Palace move forward with pace, unlike us. Why do we keep losing our momentum when ahead? Tactics or mentality?
