Comments:

League position: 5th Arsenal had now dropped points in each of their last two games in the Premier League when they had taken a two-goal lead; also 2-2 at Watford on 15 September 2019. 1,503 goals had now been scored in the Gunners' 524 home games in the Premier League (for 1,069, against 434). Kieran Tierney became the first player born on the Isle of Man to play in a game in English league football since Ken Burns for Southport at Barrow in Division Three (North) on 20 December 1947. [c/o Bill Edgar] Sokratis Papastathopoulos scored after 83 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a foul on Luka Milivojević.

Comments:

League position: 6th Crystal Palace had now taken 15 points from their opening ten games of this Premier League season; seven more points than at the same stage of the previous season. Jordan Ayew had now scored four goals in his last eight games in the Premier League; as many as he scored in his preceding 34 games in the competition. Since returning to the Premier League in 2013-14, Palace had now both won and scored more penalties than any other team in the Premier League (48 and 39 respectively). Wilfried Zaha was shown a yellow card after 29 minutes for simulation but, following a VAR review, the decision was overturned and a penalty awarded.
