Comments:
Crystal Palace began their tenth consecutive season in the Premier League so extending their club record stay in the top division. The Eagles had now won two and lost two of their opening games in the last five seasons in the Premier League. Gabriel Martinelli’s opener was the first goal that Palace had conceded in the Premier League at Selhurst Park in nine hours and 32 minutes playing time (clean sheets in the preceding five games at home in the division).2 Arsenal
