Arsenal 2-3 Crystal Palace: Gunners stunned as top-four hopes suffer significant blow
Christian Benteke’s first goal in almost a year helped Crystal Palace sink Arsenal 3-2 and put a sizeable dent in the Gunners’ Premier League top four hopes.Benteke fired his first goal in 20 games then laid on another for the tricky Wilfried Zaha as the Eagles stunned the Emirates to claim their eighth away league win this term.5James McArthur’s header sealed a fine victory that ended Arsenal’s 10-match winning league run at home – and threw a spanner in the works in the Gunners’ bid for a top-four finish.Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struck for Arsenal, but those goals seemed little other than afterthoughts for Unai Emery’s rudderless hosts.Arsenal remain fourth in the table but are only ahead of fifth-placed Chelsea on goal difference, with Manchester United two points behind in sixth.Shokdran Mustafi endured a day to forget, the Germany defender producing a string of mistakes which ultimately help gift Palace their win.5Benteke’s first goal since Palace’s 5-0 win over Leicester on April 28, 2018 kick-started a fine Eagles performance, with Roy Hodgson’s men holding out for a hugely-impressive win.Palace now boast the league’s sixth-best record on the road, Arsenal joining the likes of Manchester City and Wolves in finding no answers to the Eagles on the road.Arsenal were booed off the field at half-time and rightly so.The listless Gunners deserved to trail at the break, with Palace producing a measured away performance.5Mesut Ozil side-footed wide in an early opening but the Gunners conjured precious few genuine chances after that.Martin Kelly flicked over when he should have opened the scoring after Scott Dann’s header into the six-yard box.Arsenal failed to heed that warning however, and paid the price when Mustafi let Benteke stroll into the box unmarked and head home.The German defender wrongly thought Benteke offside, and rather than play to the whistle appealed in vain – while the Eagles’ Belgian hitman coasted into position and then nodded home. Benteke had a second effort chalked off for offside after Zaha’s fine through-ball as Palace continued to press.And the visitors probably should have doubled their lead before the break, with Cheikhou Kouyate forcing a double save from Bernd Leno, then Benteke blasting over from Zaha’s fine tee-up.Arsenal emerged transformed after the break, Ozil levelling almost immediately.The Germany star ghosted onto Alexandre Lacazette’s deft reverse ball and crashed in at the near post.5Palace rallied though, and Ainsley Maitland-Niles had to rescue Mustafi after the German’s missed header had gifted Zaha a run on goal.The hapless Mustafi’s next mistake cost Arsenal dear however, as Zaha raced onto Benteke’s flick and slotted home.Mustafi could only watch on as Zaha wriggled round him to stroll through on goal, the Gunners man incorrectly expecting goalkeeper Leno to race out and mop up.Palace refused to relent or wilt in the sunshine, and bolstered their lead when McArthur nodded home from a corner.Aubameyang netted a neat second for Arsenal to tee up a tense finish, trading passes with Lacazette before prodding home. But there was to be no recovery, Hodgson’s men deservedly holding out.5

Brendan Rodgers: New Leicester boss insists there are ‘lots of positives’ to take from first match in charge despite late defeat at Watford
Brendan Rodgers said there were lots of positives to take from his first game in charge of Leicester despite suffering a 2-1 defeat at Watford.The Foxes seemed on for a decent draw after Jamie Vardy cancelled out Troy Deeneys opener but a stoppage-time strike from Andre Gray ensured let Rodgers and co went empty-handed.3And despite losing the game in such infuriating circumstances against a club he used to manage, Rodgers gave a reasonably upbeat post-match interview.But the former Celtic, Liverpool and Swansea boss did admit Leicester could have done more started and finished the match better.Speaking to talkSPORTs Ollie Wilson after game, Rodgers said: It was a disappointing start and a disappointing end but lots of positives in between that.We didnt get off to the best start but worked our way into the game and stayed in the game. Watford have shown theyre a good side in terms of their positioning in the league.3I know what its like at Vicarage Road, its a difficult place to come.I thought after half-time we were better and our passing was much cleaner, much faster in our game and that allowed us to sustain our attacks.Once we got the goal we had the momentum in the game and it felt like there was only going to be one winner but unfortunately right at the death we didnt manage the game well enough.Apart from that ten-minute spell after Watfords first goal, I dont think we had too much to defend. Like I said we grew into the game. In the modern game you have to play against teams that sit deep, have the patience to win the ball and pass that deeply but when you are sat deep you have to be able to play on the counter and with this team I think we have that ability to do both so Im looking forward to developing that with the team.They played two strikers but the 3-4-3 gave us the numbers in midfield and as the game wore on you could see how the shape was very effective for us.Leicesters most positive moment in the game was Vardys goal which saw Youri Tielemans slip in a nice through ball before the striker clipped it over Ben Foster.3However, Vardy was forced off late in the game following a collision with the Hornets keeper but Rodgers was pleased with the striker’s display.Rodgers added: Hes a brilliant striker, hes shown that over his career that one thing he can do is score and the idea is for us to try and provide as many opportunities for him to do that.That pass from Youri [Tielemans] and the finish was fantastic.

Manchester City vs Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp believes City are the best team in world football
Jurgen Klopp insists that Manchester City are the best team in the world despite Liverpool holding a seven point gap over the reigning Premier League champions.The two sides face each other on Thursday at 7.45pm with Liverpool having the opportunity to stretch that lead to 10 points.3City’s league form has dipped of late with three defeats in their last five whereas the Reds remain the only unbeaten team this season.He said: “A very difficult one, one of the most difficult games you can play in the modern football world. We felt that plenty of times. It’s a really strong football team with an outstanding manager.“We have to be prepared as good as possible, we have to be brave, we have to be full of desire, angry, like in all the other games.3“But with the knowledge the opponent is, for me, still the best team in the world. Only the points changed, not the preparation for the game.”Klopp and Pep Guardiola have both talked up the strength of their opposition, with the City boss returning the compliment by hailing Liverpool as the world’s premier side. “He said, ‘in the moment’,” said Klopp. “Yes, with the record we had in December, we had a good moment and we have a very, very, very good football team.“That’s why we have the amount of points, that’s why we had the results. But we prepare for one game.3“A couple of weeks ago we were a point behind and then (the talk) was if we lose, then it’s four points, can you close that gap. It’s all only talk. It has nothing to do with the reality.“A big part of the football world is talking about it before it happens. But we are there to let it happen. We are very excited because it’s a very interesting game, we’re looking forward to it, but apart from that it’s a normal situation.”
