Three precious points gained in a place we've found difficult recently. I've been arguing on Arseblog that Alexis was still an excellent player with alot of positives for us, and he proved it today. Not only did he score twice, he kept the ball alive for us just before Mustafi slotted our first past Speroni. Ozil actually had two better chances to score than anything Alexis was presented with, and couldn't do it. We are definitely going to miss the Chilean.
I thought we looked pretty good overall, but the defensive lapses were worrying. Palace could easily have gotten one or two more, with the opportunities they were given. I'll skip the player comments except to say that Jack is coming along very nicely indeed.
We're in touch with the two teams above us, and that's the important thing. With the form our competitors are in, we can't afford to drop points.
