We’re disappointed with the result and the performance. We never found enough consistency in actions to earn the right to dominate the game. We had periods like that but then we gave sloppy balls away. We dropped our standards in defensive habits as well.
n
When you’re not at your best but you’re 2-1 up, you can’t give the ball away like we did. It’s part of football and it’s cost us two points. There were many aspects of the game where we should have done better today.
n
We play the most important game of the season in six days. We need to recover, get the energy back and focus on that game.

Liverpool must wait until Sunday to become champions. But my word, Crystal Palace came so close to a mighty victory at the Emirates. They were supposed to phone this game in, with the FA Cup semi-final less than three days away, but they were outstanding and probably should have won.

Arsenal led twice through Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard; Palace equalised through a brilliant goal from Ebere Eze and an even better one from the substitution Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Mikel Arteta’s response
We’re upset with the outcome and the efficiency. We by no means discovered sufficient consistency in actions to earn the best to dominate the sport. We had durations like that however then we gave sloppy balls away. We dropped our requirements in defensive habits as properly.
Once you’re not at your finest however you’re 2-1 up, you’ll be able to’t give the ball away like we did. It’s a part of soccer and it’s value us two factors. There have been many facets of the sport the place we should always have finished higher right now.
We play a very powerful sport of the season in six days. We have to recuperate, get the power again and deal with that sport.
The up to date Premier League desk
Liverpool want a degree at house to Spurs on Sunday to get the job finished.
Jean-Philippe Mateta’s response
I watched the sport from the bench and I noticed that David Raya was very excessive [up the pitch] so I knew if we received the ball in that space he wouldn’t be in his aim.
[Is this one of the best goals of your career?] Yeah I feel so. [Laughs] Sure. Yeah!
I used to be scared it could hit the crossbar so I used to be simply ready to see if it went in.
At present was sport for us. I feel we have now confidence [going into the weekend]. It’s an excellent sport for the followers, for us, for everyone. I can’t wait.
Fourteen objectives [this season] is sweet however I hope I’ll rating much more. I’m very blissful, thanks!
Ed Aarons was on the Emirates for us – right here’s his report.
Full time: Arsenal 2-2 Crystal Palace
Liverpool should wait till Sunday to grow to be champions. However my phrase, Crystal Palace got here so near a mighty victory on the Emirates. They have been alleged to cellphone this sport in, with the FA Cup semi-final lower than three days away, however they have been excellent and possibly ought to have received.
Arsenal led twice by Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard; Palace equalised by an excellent aim from Ebere Eze and a good higher one from the substitution Jean-Philippe Mateta.

90+2 min Jean-Philippe Mateta has been rampant since coming off the bench. Proper now Palace are the likelier winners.
90+1 min: One other probability for Palace! Mateta will get to the byline on the best and cuts the ball again to Sarr, whose shot on the run is crucially blocked by Saliba. I feel that was moving into. Arsenal go down the opposite finish and Martinelli drags a shot huge of the close to submit.
90 min There can be eight minutes of added time.
89 min Oliver Glasner is bouncing around the touchline, urging his staff to maintain pushing. No matter occurs from right here, this efficiency will give them an enormous morale enhance forward of the FA Cup semi-final.
88 min This may be Arsenal’s thirteenth and Palace’s twelfth attracts of the league season. Solely Everton (14) have extra.
87 min A reminder, simply in case you want it, that Liverpool can be topped champions if Palace win this sport.
86 min: Double substitution for Arsenal Ethan Nwaneri and Kieran Tierney change Martin Odegaard, who’s beginning for type, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Saliba performed a lazy sq. go to Odegaard 25 yards from his personal aim. Mateta nipped in, held off Odegaard and surprised a good looking chip on the flip that beat Raya and went into the web off the underside of the bar.
Raya was an extended method to the left of centre, providing himself for a go, however he was getting again and would have made the save however for the precision and creativeness of Mateta’s end.
GOAL! Arsenal 2-2 Crystal Palace (Mateta 83)
Jean-Philippe Mateta scores a powerful equaliser!

79 min After spell of Arsenal possession, Odegaard belts a low shot from distance that’s blocked by Kamada.
76 min Sarr finds the indefatigable Mitchell on the overlap, however his cross is simply too near Raya.
73 min: No aim! Ah, there was angle that confirmed the ball was out of play earlier than Timber crossed. So the aim was disallowed appropriately, however for the incorrect purpose (an offside that wasn’t).
72 min The scoreboard on the Emirates says the verify is for offside towards Timber somewhat than whether or not the ball was nonetheless in play.
71 min This aim could be given. It’s arduous to make certain but it surely seems to the bare eye that it was nonetheless in play when Timber crossed.
70 min Odegaard’s first-time shot from the sting of the world is by accident blocked by Rice. Moments later Martinelli scores from Timber’s cross however the assistant guidelines the ball had gone out earlier than Timber lobbed it over the top of Henderson. It seems shut.
68 min Palace actually ought to be stage – not less than.
67 min: How did that keep out! One other Palace nook is swung deep and headed again throughout the goalline by Lacroix. It goes by the palms of Raya, who has had a extremely unhealthy evening, and brushed the top of the unsighted Sarr earlier than bouncing simply huge of the far submit.
65 min The ensuing nook is taken by Kamada and headed in the direction of aim by Guehi (I feel) on the close to submit. Raya dives to his proper to make a wise response save.
65 min: Probability for Palace! Sarr’s cross finds Devenny unmarked eight yards out. He stoops for a header however mistimes it and shoulders the ball up within the air. Raya takes no probabilities and ideas it over the bar.
