    33'
    NO FOUL
    Neat Palace interplay down the left as Mateta looks for the underlapping Mitchell, but the referee deems Saka's challenge on his compatriot as fair game.
    32'
    FREE KICK, PALACE
    Guehi's header is wayward after the deep cross, but Lacazette shoves him under the high ball and concedes the free kick.
    31'
    FREE KICK, ARSENAL
    Odegaard is felled in midfield by Kouyate.
    30'
    FREE KICK, PALACE
    Won by Clyne as Smith-Rowe handles deep in Palace territory.
    28'
    WHAT A CHALLENGE
    The ball is worked to Partey on the edge of the area as he lined up to strike, but the recovering tackle from Gallagher is exemplary as the Ghanaian kicks thin air!
    26'
    GETTING EMBARRASSING FOR THE GUNNERS
    Palace are all over their visitors here, with the bit between their teeth and the crowd roaring them on. What a performance this has been so far.

    GOALLLL!!!
    They've doubled their money! Jordan Ayew makes it two after some suspect Arsenal defending, and the through ball from Andersen is misjudged by Gabriel and Tavares, and the Ghana international finishes with aplomb beyond Aaron Ramsdale! 2-0, what a story!

    TALISMANIC TITAN
    Wilf Zaha has Cedric on toast at the moment. He's too strong, too quick, too skilful. The Portuguese is struggling.
    21'
    STAMPING THEIR AUTHORITY
    Palace are in control at the moment. They've stopped Arsenal getting into their stride and one could say they deserve to be winning this London derby.
    18'
    WHAT A START
    ... for the hosts. Mateta with the first real chance of the game, Palace throwing a spanner in the works to the top four race!

    GOALLL!!!
    First blood Palace! Jean-Philippe Mateta bundles home after an excellent Gallagher delivery. It's knocked down by Andersen, and the Frenchman is there to get the final header! 1-0!

    FREE KICK, PALACE
    Won by Zaha off Ben White after the Ivorian looked to exploit the space in behind. Gallagher over it.
    15'
    GOOD HOLD
    Nice spot from Cedric off the throw towards Partey in the right channel, but Guaita claims the volleyed cross. No real chances for either side yet.
    13'
    EXCELLENT TEMPO
    ... to this game so far. Both sides are moving the ball with pace, looking to stretch either side's backlines with pace in behind, both out wide and with the central strikers, who are both dropping deep to link and hold up play.
    11'
    GOOD START
    ... from Palace who are showing sharpness and aggression in and out of possession, looking to get at their visitors in the press and with penetrative passes through the lines, with Gallagher linking those midfield and attacking thirds as an auxiliary 10.
    9'
    NEATLY WORKED
    ... from Arsenal resulting in Tavares thinking about a shot from range, but Ayew robs him as he dallies, but the Ghanaian is forced back by the recovering Portuguese.
    7'
    MISTAKE!
    Gabriel falters under the high press and gives away the throw in a promising area for Palace, but Clyne can't do anything with it as possession turns over again.
    6'
    GOOD SPOT
    Andersen looks up and pings one wide left for Zaha, but he overcooks it and Arsenal have the goal kick.
    5'
    HELD UP
    Mateta does well to hold off Gabriel and lay it off to the supporting Ayew down the right, but he tries to do too much tight on the touchline and he loses possession, giving away the throw cheaply.
    3'
    WELL WORKED
    ... down the left by Zaha and Mitchell, and the ball in towards Mateta almost falls for Gallagher, but White clears. At the other end, Lacazette looks for Smith-Rowe with the through ball, but it's just too strong.
    2'
    HIGH PRESSURE
    Early press from the Eagles as they look to rob the Arsenal defence high up the field, but Ramsdale is able to slash the ball clear.
