Post on X spreads like wildfire after Arsenal 2-2 Crystal Palace ‘Invite the Admin (Mateta ) ‘to the parade’

24th April: Crystal Palace Tweet Goes Viral

Post on X spreads like wildfire after Arsenal 2-2 Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have caused a stir by tweeting “You’re welcome Liverpool” following Wednesday night’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal. The result at the Emirates Stadium means Liverpool now require one point from their final five fixtures to win the 2024-25 Premier League title.

Arsenal were on course to secure a 2-1 victory until the 83rd minute when Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a sublime equaliser for Palace, leaving Liverpool on the verge of securing their 20th English league title in the process. While many Arsenal fans are less than impressed with Palace’s tweet, it’s fair to say that the post has gone down very well on Merseyside.

“Finally, an instance of Palace coming from behind to draw a game in a title race that I won’t be telling my therapist about,” one Liverpool fan wrote, referring back to ‘Crystanbul’ in 2014. Another wrote: “All forgiven for the 3-3 lads.” While a third supporter posted: “Invite the admin to the parade.”

23rd April: Jean-Philippe Mateta’s Incredible Equaliser Against Arsenal

The Crystal Palace man capitalised on an embarrassing mistake from the Gunners to score a cracker

Liverpool are just one point away from winning the Premier League now as Arsenal gifted Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta a late equaliser in the most embarrassing of fashion during their encounter on Wednesday night. The Gunners were winning 2-1 after goals from Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard canceled out Eberechi Eze’s equaliser, but Oliver Glasner’s side levelled things with just minutes left on the clock through Mateta.

Arsenal were in possession just outside their own penalty area, but they were careless and William Saliba ended up giving the ball to the striker and he proceeded to lob it over David Raya in audacious fashion. It was a shocking way to concede an equaliser so late and there’s no doubt that Mikel Arteta will be very unhappy with his side, but it was an incredible finish from Mateta who fired it off with just a moment’s notice.
