EPL: Impressive 10-man Arsenal beat Crystal Palace
It was another impressive outing for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal at Selhurst Park as they grabbed all three points, winning Crystal Palace by a lone goal in the English Premier League.
With both teams unable to find the back of the net throughout the first half, the game looked more like it would end in a stalemate.
However, Martin Odegaard put Arsenal ahead, converting a penalty in the 53rd minute after Sam Johnstone brought Eddie Nketiah down in the box.
Arsenal’s chances of winning the game were threatened as Tomiyasu was sent off in the 67th minute after a second yellow card for a foul on Jordan Ayew. But the Gunners pulled through with resolute defending.
The Gunners now have six points in two games with three goals.
