Arsenal once again delayed Liverpool’s Premier League title coronation with a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.
The Gunners entered the match aware that a defeat to Oliver Glasner’s side would confirm Arne Slot’s men as champions.
However, it was the hosts who struck first, with Jakub Kiwior heading in Martin Ødegaard’s free-kick during the first half.
Palace equalised through Eberechi Eze, whose composed finish from the edge of the box crept past David Raya.
Leandro Trossard restored Arsenal’s advantage, cutting onto his left foot inside the area before rifling a shot beyond Dean Henderson.
Yet, the points were ultimately shared at the Emirates, as Jean-Philippe Mateta capitalised on a defensive error to loft the ball into an unguarded net.
As a result, Liverpool now need only avoid defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday to be confirmed as Premier League champions for the season.
