59 h. ago Grealish grabs late winner as Everton end Crystal Palace’s unbeaten run

Oliver Glasner looked on aghast while his Crystal Palace players rubbed their heads and sank to their knees in sheer disbelief. As well they might. Palace’s 19-game unbeaten run is over, vanishing against a late and thoroughly unexpected Everton recovery capped by Jack Grealish’s first goal for David Moyes’ team.Everton have been Palace’s bogey team for several years but their first away win since 2014 beckoned after Daniel Muñoz gave the visitors a deserved interval lead. There are some miracles that Glasner can not conjure, however, and after Iliman Ndiaye hauled the hosts back into the contest from the penalty spot a fortunate 93rd minute strike from Grealish condemned Palace to their first defeat since 16 April. It was an outcome no one would have predicted for the majority of the contest. Continue reading...

3 d. ago Bukayo Saka seals Arsenal’s stroll past West Ham in Mikel Arteta’s 300th game

So much for bogey teams. In a week they have banished the demons of their poor recent record at Newcastle and here against Olympiakos, it was West Ham’s turn to feel the force of a resurgent Arsenal.Other than the concerning sight of first Martin Ødegaard and then Declan Rice, scorer of the first goal, having to be replaced because of injuries, this was a most satisfying afternoon for Mikel Arteta on his 300th match in charge. While 16% of Arsenal’s goals under the Spaniard have come from set pieces – a figure surpassed only by Tony Pulis and Sam Allardyce of those who have managed that many games in the Premier League – they showed they are still capable of breaking down teams who come to defend with a low block as well.
