Crystal Palace 1-1 Arsenal: Aubameyang scores and sees red

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored and was sent off as Arsenal played out a 1-1 Premier League draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The Gabon international put Mikel Arteta s side ahead with a typically clinical finish early on before Jordan Ayew secured a point for Roy Hodgson s men nine minutes after the interval.

Palace might feel they should have gone on to seal all three points after a VAR review deemed Aubameyang s challenge on Max Meyer in the 67th minute worthy of a straight red card.

The result leaves Arsenal in 10th position, one point behind the Eagles and eight adrift of fourth-place Chelsea.

The points are shared.
