On Monday evening, London's Arsenal experienced a painful defeat while fighting for a place in the top four. The "Gunners" succumbed 0:3 to London's Crystal Palace team as visitors. The match started with two quick goals scored by Crystal Palace. Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a goal in the 16th minute, and Jordan Ayew marked the 24th minute. Both goals were significantly contributed by center-back Joachim Andersen, who made two assists. In the middle of the second half, it seemed that a goal was brewing for Arsenal, as their players created several serious opportunities. However, before the course of the match, Wilfried Zaha provoked a penalty kick. The "Eagles" leader confidently converted the penalty and sealed the match. Mikel Arteta's pupils failed to overtake the Tottenham team in the standings. Of course, Arsenal still has matches in reserve.
