Entertaining game, I thought a 1-1 draw would have been fair. Pretty bad reffing all around, the red card/two yellows were both pretty ridiculous but particularly the second one, even though it was slight there was clear contact in the box on Eze shin to shin with the rapist and Partey also pretty clearly had his arm around the last man back on the Nketiah fall in the box preventing him from defending, also Nketiah has zero chance of controlling that ball, he took such a heavy touch and kicked it straight out of bounds and flopped but he was looking for that pen all night, though Arsenal deserve credit for being quick on the free kick and Palace fell asleep a bit. Nketiah should have finished the one he put off the post anyway and Arsenal were pretty clearly better for a lot of the first half even though they looked a bit vulnerable on the counter.
