Crystal Palace vs Arsenal live updates: Second Gabriel Jesus goal puts visitors ahead in entertaining start


8′ Crystal Palace 0-1 Arsenal

It was from that soft free kick on Lewis-Skelly that Arsenal worked the move that saw them open the scoring. Odegaard played it short down the left, then quickly switched it to the right.

Bukayo Saka raced down the line, opposite Chris Richards, who is usually on the other side, and stood up a cross to the back post.

Palace couldn’t clear and clever body positioning and blocking saw Jesus, who had peeled off, in acres of space at the back post to slam the loose ball past the Palace defenders desperately sliding in to block.

The away end is already bouncing. What a start!
