PREM: Crystal Palace 2-2 Arsenal

Luka Milivojevic celebrates after scoring a penalty for Crystal Palace against Arsenal

Arsenal's 11-game winning run came to an end at Crystal Palace, who scored from the spot twice in a pulsating 2-2 draw on Sunday.

Luka Milivojevic achieved redemption by scoring a brace of penalties as Crystal Palace ended Arsenal's winning run with a deserved draw at Selhurst Park.

Arsenal had looked on course to record a 12th consecutive win in all competitions after a superb Granit Xhaka free-kick and a controversial Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang strike had cancelled out Milivojevic's penalty on the stroke of half-time.

But the Palace captain, who missed from 12 yards in the defeat at Everton last weekend, made no mistake in securing a 2-2 draw when referee Martin Atkinson awarded the hosts a second penalty of the afternoon.

 

The goals were the first scored at home in the league by the Eagles this season and earned them a share of the spoils against an in-form Arsenal side who had again started the game slowly.

It was a sombre start to the afternoon in south London, both clubs paying respect to those affected by the helicopter crash at Leicester City the previous evening.

The players sported black armbands and there was warm applause from everyone inside Selhurst Park in the build-up to kick-off.
