45 min: And that's the whistle for the second half! Compared to the Leicester v West Ham game, which was full of meaty tackles, penalty appeals and card after card, the game down at the Emirates has been very dull and timid. Let's hope the second half picks up! Substitution - Sako on for Jedinak.

63 min - substitution: Adebayor, potentially the most despised man in Arsenal history, makes his way onto the pitch to an eruption of boos. Wickham is the man he replaces.

65 min: Arsenal with the chance! The ball gets whipped into the box from an Ozil free-kick and although Adebayor manages to get a foot to it, he can't clear the ball. Sanchez is quick to react and the ball gets nodded on towards Iwobi who sticks out a leg to try and guide it into the net. Hennessey puts up two quick hands though and pushes the ball away.

68 min: Arsenal with another free kick. Ozil takes it quickly though having spotted Sanchez's dart into the box and curls the ball into his path from the left. Soares is left for dead as the Chilean races ahead of him to flick the ball on with his head. It sails across the face of the goal and looks like it's going into the far right-hand corner but it's just off. Goal kick.

72 min: Welbeck receives the ball at feet on the left-hand flank with Dann on his back.. He flicks the ball down the touchline and turns him with a burst of pace but the Palace defender chops him down in the process, earning himself a yellow and conceding a free-kick.

75 min: Fantastic chance for Palace! From the corner spot the ball is played into the near post to Ledley who rises above the Arsenal defence to flick the ball on towards goal. Cech is called into action as he leaps backwards to get a hand to the dipping ball and tips it over for another corner.

80 min: Sanchez is on cracking form as he rides two challenges in the centre of the park before reversing play with a lovely ball to Giroud down on the left. The Frenchman's first touch is off though allowing Ward time to close him down,

GOAL! ARSENAL 1-1 CRYSTAL PALACE! (Bolasie, 81 min): Out of nowhere, Crystal Palace pull one back to Bolasie. On the left-hand side of the Arsenal box, he drifts inward along the edge of the penalty area losing Coquelin in the process. From here he drills the ball along the deck into the bottom left-hand corner catching Cech off-guard who was expecting a shot to the right. Great solo effort.
