That's all, it's finished 1-1 at Selhurst Park. After a bright start by Arsenal and a slugglish one from Palace, the home side eventually dragged themselves back into the game to earn a draw. They remain one point ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League table.
90+6
There's a tremendously juvenile scuffle for the ball after David Luiz tries to move it back a few yards. Everyone eventually grows up and the ball is floated to the edge of the Arsenal area. It falls to Tomkins, who lashes a half-volley miles over the bar.
90+5
A late free kick for Palace, 40 yards from Arsenal's goal on the right.
90+4
Ayew has been fouled and is receiving treatment.
90+2
Reece Nelson replaces Lacazette.

Zaha hits the deck as he tries to run into the Arsenal area and clashes with Martinelli. The home crowd are screaming for a penalty but it's not given; it is reviewed upstairs as they say, but won't be awarded. There will be a minimum of four additional minutes.

Another foul by Lacazette near halfway, and he's now booked.

Lacazette brings down Ayew in the middle of the park as he threatens to break. Cahill bangs the free kick forward but it fliesstraight out for a goal kick.

It's Palace that look dangerous now, as a looping, deflected cross from the right flies across the six yard box and away from danger.
86'
Tomkins is booked for scything through Martinelli near the centre circle.

Tosun gets in space down the left, and fires a dangerous cross to the front post that Kolasinac does well to clear.
83'
OFF THE POST! Superb play from Martinelli down the left finds Lacazette in the penalty area. He lays it off to Pepe, who drills a low, angled shot past Guaita but it hits the inside of the post and rebounds straight to the goalkeeper.
82'
It's scrappy now as Palace try to push forwards and Arsenal defend doggedly.
79'
SO CLOSE! A brilliant ball from the left by Zaha is won by Tomkins at the back post. He floats a header back across goal, and thankfully for Arsenal Sokratis is there to hook the ball off the line before his colleagues scramble it behind for a corner.
77'
Pepe's outswinger breaks to Xhaka near the edge of the area, but his half-volley is well blocked by McArthur.
76'
A mistake by Kelly almost lets Arsenal in. The ball is squared to Martinelli in the box but Cahill gets back to put it out for a corner.
75'
Palace are on the front foot here. They're mainly trying to feed Zaha on the left wing, and Arsenal are making sure they get 2 or 3 bodies across as soon as he gets the ball. Can the home side find a winner with their one man advantage?
73'
Tosun tries to win a corner by playing the ball off an Arsenal defender, but it drifts behind for a goal kick. This feels like an important twenty minutes or so for Arteta in his fledgling managerial career, with his team level and down to ten men in a game they've largely dominated.
71'
Welcome to the game Martinelli. He gets possession and is crudely fouled by McCarthy, who goes into the book.
