SECOND HALF – Palace 0-1 Arsenal

Here we go then! Arsenal get the ball rolling for the second period.

All hail Jesus

The Arsenal nine has picked up exactly where he left off in pre-season.

He’s been at the heart of every Arsenal attack and looks a threat every time he gets the ball.

A dream debut so far for the Brazilian. Just needs a goal…

HALF-TIME – Palace 0-1 Arsenal

The corner comes to nothing and Anthony Taylor blows his whistle for half-time.

Martinelli opened the scoring, heading home from close range after a glaring miss earlier in the half. The Gunners continued to threaten, looking very dangerous in the final third.

However, a couple of Ramsdale mistakes have encouraged Palace who look to be growing into this one. New boy Doucoure nearly levelled the scores but for a brilliant save from the Arsenal keeper who’s had a mixed evening.

A thoroughly entertaining first 45 minutes.
