EPL: Cystal Palace 0-2 Arsenal: Marc Guehi’s own goal gets Gunners off to a perfect start
Arsenal started their 2022-23 Premier League campaign with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
The visitors dominated the opening exchanges and deservedly took the lead when a well-worked corner led to Gabriel Martinelli heading them in front.
Later in the half Palace came back into it, with Odsonne Edouard forcing a fine save out of Aaron Ramsdale.
Eberechi Eze forced another good save from Ramsdale early in the second half, but despite more possession Palace couldn’t force an equaliser and a late own goal by Marc Guehi secured all three points for Arsenal.
Palace now travel to face Liverpool at Anfield a week on Monday, while Arsenal are at home to Leicester a week on Saturday.
