Odegaard leads Arsenal to a second win in the premier league.

Arsenal had a hard-fought win against Crystal Palace. The Gunners had to play with 10 men for the final 23 minutes after Takehiro Tomiyasu was sent off for a second yellow card.

The match was a tight and tense affair, with both teams struggling to create clear chances. Crystal Palace defended well and frustrated Arsenal’s attack, while Arsenal were solid at the back and denied Palace any space.

The first half ended goalless, with neither side able to break the deadlock. The game changed in the 53rd minute when Arsenal were awarded a penalty after Johnstone fouled Nketiah in the box. Odegaard stepped up and calmly slotted the ball past Johnstone, giving Arsenal the lead. It was his first goal of the season for the club.

Crystal Palace tried to respond, but Arsenal held firm and kept them at bay. The visitors’ task became harder when Tomiyasu was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on Ayew in the 67th minute. The Japanese defender had been impressive until then, but his dismissal left Arsenal with a man disadvantage.

Palace pushed for an equalizer, but Arsenal defended with resilience and determination. They managed to preserve their slender lead and claim their second win of the season. It was also their second clean sheet in a row after keeping Norwich at bay in their previous match.

Arsenal got their second win of the season, and Crystal Palace received the 1st loss of the season. Crystal Palace will be going to face Brentford, and Arsenal will go up against Fulham. It is going to be an exciting next week.

Arsenal is one of the top contenders to fight for the Premier League title as they were quite close last season when they finished 2nd after being at the top of the table till January. On the other hand, Crystal Palace will be looking to finish in the mid-table.
