London's "Arsenal" on Saturday lost two more points in the "Premier" League when they played a 1:1 draw with "Crystal Palace" footballers.
On top of that, in the second half, from the field for a rough foul, "gunner" attacking leader Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was sent off, and will have to miss upcoming matches against "Sheffield United," "Chelsea," and the FA Cup clash with "Bournemouth."
"Arsenal" strategist Mikel Arteta said after the incident that it is not pleasant to lose such an important player, but now other players will have to step up.
"Other players will have to step up now, as Aubameyang won't be able to contribute with his goals. Other players will have to do that, and I hope they will respond appropriately to this situation.
Losing probably the most important player in the team is not pleasant. However, we have more players who can play in this position. We will try to find options and fight in all matches," M. Arteta told reporters.
Aubameyang is the first player to score and be sent off for Arsenal since Mikel Arteta in 2013, also at Selhurst Park.
