When it rains, it pours.
Arsenal’s Premier League campaign appeared to be going at full tilt before Monday’s trip to Selhurst Park. Dominating games, fluid football and not conceding a goal from set pieces - at least that was the case before tonight.
Perhaps the most concerning aspect of the defeat against Crystal Palace was the manner in which they were cast aside by Patrick Vieira’s team. The added blow of two injuries to Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey put further doubt on Arsenal’s top four aspirations, just as they looked like favourites ahead of their north London rivals Tottenham.
