Report: Woodwork denies Palace as Eagles edeserved point at Arsena

Palace secured a hard-fought point at the Emirates Stadium to make it five games unbeaten against Arsenal, as the woodwork and a fantastic Bernd Leno save denied the Eagles an impressive victory in a game of incredibly tight margins.

Summary:

  • Arsenal have early control of the ball, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang going closest.
  • Palace begin to break forwards in numbers, as Christian Benteke shoots over from six-yards out.
  • James Tomkins’ header from Eberechi Eze’s free-kick cannons off the crossbar as Palace are inches from taking the lead.
  • Benteke’s header forces a wonder save from Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
