Oliver Glasner shares what Arsenal did against Crystal Palace that he ‘can’t remember’ having seen much of before
Crystal Palace held Arsenal to a 2-2 draw in Wednesday night’s Premier League encounter between the two sides at the Emirates Stadium.
The Eagles trailed after just three minutes due to Jakub Kiwior’s header, but a superb Eberechi Eze goal had Oliver Glasner’s side level on 27 minutes.
And while Leandro Trossard put Arsenal back in front just before the break, a William Saliba error gave Jean-Philippe Mateta the chance to equaliser.
The Crystal Palace ace did so with aplomb, lobbing Gunners goalkeeper David Raya from range for what turned out to be a share of the spoils.
Glasner revealed at full time that he has “watched many Arsenal games” before sharing what he noticed from the Gunners that he hasn’t seen much of before.
Oliver Glasner impressed by how many clear-cut chances Crystal Palace had against Arsenal
Glasner spoke to after the game, he said he can’t remember Arsenal having surrendered as many clear-cut chances as the Eagles had against them.
“Excellent,” said the Palace boss. “Credit to the players. The reaction [to recent results] was amazing today.
“I’m proud of what the players showed. We scored amazing goals.
“I watched many Arsenal games and I can’t remember a team with as many clear chances as we had.”
Glasner then urged his players to take the momentum from the Arsenal game into the FA Cup semi-final meeting with Aston Villa.
“We want to show our identity and personality,” said Glasner. “It’s important to keep this energy and confidence for the semi-final on Saturday.”
How Crystal Palace fared against Arsenal
Although Arsenal dominated possession against Palace, as was expected, the visitors not only had more chances than the hosts, but also more clear-cut chances.
Palace had 15 shots to Arsenal’s 12, with four on target, six off target, five blocked and four deemed clear-cut. In addition, the Eagles won six corners.
By contrast, Arsenal had six shots on target, four off target, two blocked, and two deemed clear cut, along with three corners.
Palace will take a lot of encouragement from the game going into their FA Cup semi-final.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will be eager to go up a gear ahead of their Champions League semi-final against PSG.
