90'	4 minutes of added time.
90'	Yellow card Alexandre Lacazette.
87'	Ayew twists and turns down the right flank to dig out a cross that flies across the face of goal, but there's no Palace player there to attack the delivery.

78'	Pepe fires a shot across goal which is pushed onto the post before Guaita gets in front of Lacazette’s rebound.
75'	Zaha lifts a ball to the back post where Tomkins loops the ball over Leno. Sokratis does well to clear the ball off the line, however before it is sent behind for a corner.
74'	Kolasinac and Luiz try to play head tennis near the touchline, lose the ball and Lacazette fouls McArthur to stop play.
71'	Yellow card to James McCarthy
70'	Martinelli replaces Mesut Özil.
67'	Red card to Aubameyang.
60'	David Luiz almost redeems himself, directing Nicolas Pepe’s header towards goal but it was too powerful and went over the bar.

H-T	Crystal Palace 0-1 Arsenal
45'	2 minutes of added time.
44'	Pepe goes into the book for sticking his boot out at McCarthy on the deck after the two had been involved in a challenge.
42'	McCarthy hangs a free-kick into the box and a flick almost finds Tomkins. Torreira is alert in the box and hammers the ball down field away from danger.
39'	Kouyate manages to skip his way into the box and get a shot off but Kouyate gets a hold of it.
37'	Attempt blocked. Aubameyang right footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked.
32'	Crystal Palace get back on the ball and as it falls to McArtthur, he clips a ball to the back post but absolutely no-one is there.
30'	Another break in play as Pepe and Torreira clatter into each other in mid air. Pepe was eased into that by Zaha, nudging slyly from behind. Both are momentarily winded; both seem fine to continue.
28'	Kolasinac goes down too easily on the touchline and Crystal Palace try to counter but Xhaka blasts the ball off the pitch to stop them.
26'	Zaha tries to play the ball back into the box but Torreira intercepts and wins a foul.
