Arsenal 2-2 Crystal Palace: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Gunners Throw Away Two-Goal Lead

Arsenal let a two-goal lead slip against fellow London side Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon, with fans showing their discontent throughout the second half.

The game seemed almost over before it had started when Arsenal scored twice from two corners in two minutes, Sokratis grabbing the first before David Luiz converted from Alexandre Lacazette's flick-on.

Just when things looked to be calming down, VAR once again found itself at the heart of things when Wilfried Zaha hit the deck following a lazy challenge from Calum Chambers – the Ivory Coast winger initially being booked for simulation by referee Martin Atkinson only to be vindicated on replay.
