Arsenal 2-1 Crystal Palace

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Just remember – Gabriel Jesus had one goal in 33 games coming into this one.

 

“He’s got two in 20 minutes – both from open play – to turn this quarter-final around!

 

“We’re not quite in ‘Arsenal don’t need a striker’ territory yet – but that has given Mikel Arteta’s side such a big option!”

GOAL!!! Arsenal 2-1 Crystal Palace (Jesus, 73)

JESUS IS REBORN!!!

 

He goes almost a year without scoring at home and then two drop his way! He’s deserved this, too. Wonderful finishing.

 

Saka, of course, is the man providing the assist. He threads through the Brazilian, who just about stays onside. The angle is tight but he rifles a powerful finish into the far corner. Boom.

 

If VAR was in use, that would’ve been tight. Right on the shoulder was Jesus.

68: SUB! Tierney is coming off, perhaps a bit of tiredness creeping in. Lewis-Skelly is on.

 

And the crowd starts to bubble with excitement. Here comes Saka – he’s on for Sterling, who hasn’t staked his claim.

 

Watch his amazing double miss below!

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Saka is being called back. A big moment in this cup tie? Not just for normal time, but for penalties too – if we need them.

 

“Tierney is down. So Lewis-Skelly is imminent too.”

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Jesus has that zip about him now. He’s been a completely different player compared to the first half. Or the past 30 games or so.

 

“That’s what a goal does to your confidence…”

64: CHANCE FOR JESUS!! The striker is looking sharp. Another ball into his feet sees him turn Lacroix but his low finish from the angle is blocked away – just – by Henderson’s arm.

63: SHOT! Palace turn the ball over and Lerma charges into space. He has Sarr making a fine run in behind and could shoot but ends up doing neither. Eventually he strikes from 30 yards and it’s a poor attempt. Raya holds on.

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Applause from the Emirates crowd for the returning Nketiah.

 

“An instant response was inevitable from Oliver Glasner looking at his touchline antics recently. He was barking at anyone – his substitutes, his coaching staff, the fourth official, everybody!”

59: SUBS! Palace switching things up. Nketiah makes his Arsenal return for Mateta. Eze also departs for Kamada.

 

Strange one from Glasner – maybe keeping them fresh for Saturday.

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Based on the last five minutes, it was coming.

 

“First, it’s a brilliant ball from Odegaard. That’s the difference which was missing in the first half.

 

“And that chipped finish is not one of a striker out of confidence. Just his second goal in 34.

 

“This place is on its feet.”

GOAL!!! Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace (Jesus, 54)

ARSENAL FIND THEIR GROOVE!!

 

Odegaard pulls the strings and sends Jesus deep into Palace territory. He skips past Chalobah who is on the stretch and then the striker dinks a quite brilliant finish over Henderson. Classy finish – a reminder of what he can do!

 

It Jesus’ time of year, of course.

“Better from Tierney and from Arsenal!

52: HUGE CHANCES FOR STERLING!! I’m baffled. How has he not scored..? Arsenal up the tempo with Tierney down the left and zings one across goal. Sterling is there for the tap-in from six yards but Henderson blocks it away. Somehow, Sterling then manages to strike the bar from three yards out!

 

That won’t help his confidence.

“Harsh on Nwaneri to haul him off. He was one of the few trying to drive some creativity in that first half and the Arsenal home fans around us appreciated that.

 

“But the Gunners need their captain here…”

46: WE ARE BACK! Here come the changes. Odegaard and Saliba are called for. Time to take this one seriously, I’m assuming. Only one team were in that first half.

 

Partey and Nwaneri off.

Odegaard coming on

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Martin Odegaard is out to warm up and he is fully kitted out. He’s coming on in the second half, along with Saliba.

 

“Meanwhile, the Arsenal PA system is playing ‘It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year’. The Gunners currently half way to one win in four matches in all competitions.
