The title race is truly over and no need for Liverpool to sweat over it
Champions league Semi-finalists Arsenal would have liked to drag the title race for Premier league a bit longer but now after the draw with Crystal palace, the title race is truly over and no need for Liverpool to sweat over it.
Arsenal, who come fresh from defeating Real Madrid in the Champions league quarter finals and Ipswich town in the premier league now have drawn 2-2 with Crystal Palace at the Emirates and now sit 2nd behind Liverpool with 67 points.
Both Arsenal and Palace’s main focus is on their cup exploits
Both Arsenal and Palace’s main focus is on their cup exploits, with the Gunners in the Champions League semifinals and the Eagles at the same stage in the FA Cup – and both managers rested key players.
When center-back Jakub Kiwior headed a superb Martin Odegaard free-kick past Dean Henderson in the third minute, Arsenal captured the lead at Emirates Stadium.
Eberechi Eze volleyed his shot into the ground
Oliver Glasner’s team equalized in the 27th minute with a deftly executed set-piece, and Palace were threatening on the attack but exposed at the back. Eberechi Eze volleyed his shot into the ground after Adam Wharton clipped it to the area’s edge, and the ball struck the post before entering the net.
Just before halftime, Leandro Trossard took a pass from Jurrien Timber and squirted a shot into the bottom corner to give Arsenal the lead.
The Eagles kept trying to level the score
The Eagles kept trying to level the score and had strong chances with headers from Ismaila Sarr and Justin Devenny, but neither player was able to make sufficient touch with the ball.
William Saliba gave substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta the ball with a terrible sloppy pass 25 yards away, and the striker delivered a fantastic chipped finish over stranded Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya to give Palace their second goal.
Both sides displayed their attacking prowess during the game, with Palace’s tenacious play and Arsenal’s mastery of set pieces making for an exciting battle.
Due to the outcome, Liverpool is now in a strong position to win the championship this weekend, while Arsenal must now juggle their remaining league obligations with their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
