After Aubameyang was sent off, Meyer could not continue the game for pain from the tackle and was subbed with Cenk Tosun. By this time, Palace gained some control of the game as they now play against 10-man Arsenal.

In spite of that, Nicola Pepe was close to lifting Arsenal out with a shot from inside the area that beat Palace's goalkeeper Vicente Guiata only to hit the bar and bounced back out but Lacazette could not get his foot to it before Guiata saved it.

Arsenal finished the game for their 15th winless away games as Crystal Palace maintained unbeaten against Gunners in four consecutive games. Making the top four or six is still a long way to go for Arsenal who are 10th in the table with 28 points.
