Crystal Palace vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League results and final score after Takehiro Tomiyasu red card

Mikel Arteta’s title hopefuls head to face Roy Hodgson’s Eagles at Selhurst Park

'I love it!' - Arteta hails adaptable new squad ahead of Crystal Palace visit

The final match of the weekend in the Premier League takes place on Monday night with Crystal Palace hosting Arsenal at Selhurst Park. Roy Hodgson is back once more for another campaign with the Eagles and they made a good start to 2023/24 with a 1-0 win at Sheffield United on the opening weekend.

Arsenal, meanwhile, battled to a 2-1 home victory over Nottingham Forest, with Mikel Arteta’s side hoping to go one better this term after finishing runners-up to Man City in May.

The Gunners have added the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz to their squad over the summer, while Palace lost key winger Wilf Zaha - but have brought in Matheus Franca from Flamengo in their big-money addition so far. Follow all the live action below as Crystal Palace host Arsenal and see the latest odds for the game here.

75’ - Palace 0-1 Arsenal

Palace trying to mount some sustained pressure but they are failing to really combine in the most dangerous areas.

Arsenal boss Arteta looks to try and regain a bit of control in the centre with another midfield sub.

ARS sub: Jorginho on for Nketiah

71’ - Palace 0-1 Arsenal

Boos and arguments all around.

Eze skips past two tackles, Rice evaded and Partey too - then goes down in the box wanting a penalty. Partey is furious and wants a yellow card for a dive; Eze is adamant it’s a spot-kick. The truth is it’s neither: there was marginal contact, so not a dive, but nowhere near enough for a spot-kick.

PAL sub - Ahamada on for Schlupp

ARS sub - Gabriel on for Martinelli

66’ RED CARD! - Palace 0-1 Arsenal

Well, that might change matters! Tomiyasu was booked a few moments ago for time-wasting, now he’s shown a second yellow for pulling down Ayew as the forward span away from him. Didn’t look a whole lot in it - another not-top-notch decision from Mr. Coote in the middle, but off trudges Tomiyasu.

64’ - Palace 0-1 Arsenal

Partey strikes a shot from range which is tipped over; Odegaard attempts a volley which is wildly off-target.

Roy Hodgson is shouting ineffectually from the tactical area on the touchline; Palace have barely had a touch in the Arsenal half in this half. Havertz strikes one just wide of the far post from a narrow angle - decent hit but always a few yards wide.

We’ve just caught a glimpse of Franca in the stands - they’ll hope to have him back soon.

60' - Palace 0-1 Arsenal

A dismal effort from Eze - his clipped free-kick flies miles over the bar.

The ref twice hurries along Arsenal, with Havertz and Partey taking their time over restarts. Then Tomiyasu does the same thing and the left-back takes the fall for the team’s repeat offences - he’s booked.

Into the final half-hour we go and Palace will presumably have to step up their approach soon.

56’ - Palace 0-1 Arsenal

Palace try to mount an instant response with Doucoure and Ayew linking, but the latter lashes a shot into the side-netting from a poor angle.

Eze is then fouled by Saliba right on the edge of the box and it’s a dangerous free-kick for the hosts. Eze stands over the set-piece himself, along with Andersen.

53’ GOAL! - Palace 0-1 Arsenal

Goal!!

Odegaard rolls it to his left, Johnstone dives the wrong way and the Gunners are ahead!

[21 August 2023 21:11 · Karl Matchett]

48’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal

Down in the box goes Nketiah and Johnstone takes him down - penalty given!

A VAR check looks at a potential foul by Partey, but it’s not given and the spot-kick remains.

Back underway for the second half.
