Of course it will be emotional, Patrick Vieira had announced. And at his first game as a coach against the old love, the former Arsenal icon was allowed to actually experience a wide range of emotions. First of all, prevailing: trouble. Because after a corner actually too long, his team was dreaming of a fast double pass between Pepé and Tomiyasu. The Schlenzer of the Ivorer was able to parry Guaita even shiny, but Aubameyang dusted technically demanding excreted angle (8.).
After that, however, the expression of Vieiiras was sustainable, because his team significantly increased in the course of the first pass to sleepy on the beginning and made Arsenal before ever greater problems. The two best chances of Benteke (28th) and Gallagher (45. + 4) thwarted Ramsdale. However, the Eagles also had a little luck that McARthur looked only yellow for a beast against SAKA (43.), the English international had to hurt out for the break.
Palace turns the game - but Lacazette rescues Arsenal
However, Arsenal s neighbors continued in the second passage, and again and again, the Gunner s mistakes scattered in construction - and were crammed. A ball loss of Thomas headed the compensation of Benteke (50th), another from Lokonga 2: 1 for Palace by Edouard, which provided with a rich shot under the lath for an exuberant Vieira jubilant on the page (73.) . Bitter for Arsenal: Before both hits, they had a good chance for both matches: Thomas distance shot flew just over (48.), the substitute Lacazette failed after a wonderful Aubameyang pass to Guaita (72nd).
In the final phase Arsenal threw everything forward again, had some semi-opportunities - and once huge aluminum bad luck, as a tiereny the ball of short distance to the lower edge of the latte hammered (87.). The first defeat after last four unbeaten games seemed to accept contours, but after the injection time was expired, the Gunners still received one last chance: a first crash corner brought Pepé back to the penalty area, where Palace could not clarify and white. The still stiffened shot of the central defender, Guaita parished with the foot, but Lacazette stood properly and dusted in the very last second to the 2: 2 final score (90. + 5). Vieira sagged together at the sideline and hit his hands in front of the face: the roller coaster of the emotions listened where they had started.
