Comments:

League position: 9th Crystal Palace had now drawn 50 home games in the Premier League (played 205, won 62, lost 93). Jordan Ayew became the first player to score in the home and away league games for Palace against Arsenal in the same season since John Craven in 1971-72 in League Division One. The Eagles' 22 games so far in this Premier League season had produced 44 goals; the fewest in the division (scored 20, conceded 24).

Comments:

League position: 10th Arsenal became the eighth team to concede 600 goals in their away games in the Premier League (played 530, scored 798). The Gunners had now failed to win five games so far in this Premier League season when they had been leading at half-time (lost one); their joint-highest such total in a season in the division (also 2010-11). Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang became the third player to score and be sent-off in a game in the Premier League for Arsenal; also Mikel Arteta at Crystal Palace on 26 October 2013 and Ian Wright at Nottingham Forest on 21 December 1996. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was initially shown a yellow card after 65 minutes but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review.
