45+3'
Ramsey's cross is headed away, and that's half time. See you in 15 minutes.
45'
GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace. Koscielny scores. Kelly comes out to defend but gives away a foul. Sanchez curls in a cross towards the penalty spot, and Koscielny nods the ball into the net, totally unmarked.
44'
The first booking of the season, Calum Chambers. Not for mispelling his first name but for dragging Campbell to the floor.
43'
Less tiki taka, more tippy tappy.
42'
The Cazorla cross is spectacularly Arsenal, and thus no goal is scored.
41'
Arsenal win a free kick on the right wing, Cazorla will take after the ref sprays vanishing spray in his eye.
40'
Gibbs blocks off a Palace attack, but the move breaks down.
39'
Arsenal should probably consider putting Giroud on the pitch. Not necessarily instead of Sanogo, but alongside him.
37'
Cazorla skittles right, back into the centre and then has a low shot deflected a couple of yards wide of goal. He'll take the corner.
33'
GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Crystal Palace. Hangeland scores. A corner is curled to the near post, flicked in off the top his head, into the far corner.
32'
Crystal Palace back to 25% possession. The fightback begins.
31'
Chamakh gets a late kick from Sanchez on the left wing and Speroni clumps the ball forward.
30'
Nothing from the corner.
29'
Wilshere sends in a low shot from 25 yards which bobbles in front of Speroni, who pushes away behind for a corner on the left.
28'
Debuchy stries down the right wing, and sends the ball into the edge of the box. Predictably, it comes to nothing. This is very, very Arsenal.
27'
Arsenal are finding it hard to break down this side. Sanogo gets to the edge of the box and drags his shot miles wide.
26'
A great tactical point made about Chamakh below.
34'
Ramsey is down clutching his head, but seems OK to continue now.
23'
Ward gets a free kick with a late tackle from Sanchez, who had just overrun the ball.
20'
Wenger out!
19'
Ledley wins the ball in midfield and Palace keep the ball between defenders.
