Liverpool 99% win Premier League after Arsenal's fall

Before the match, the gap between the two leading positions was 11 points. That meant that in the remaining 5 matches, Arsenal could not afford to drop any points, and at the same time hoped that Liverpool would decline. And Arsenal showed their determination to win by scoring early. In the 3rd minute, Kiwior headed the opening goal for the Gunners.

The psychological advantage and better squad helped Arsenal play leisurely. In the context that their opponent Crystal Palace no longer had a specific goal, the home team could easily launch attacks.

However, in a comfortable match, Arsenal unexpectedly conceded a goal. In the 27th minute, Eze's individual brilliance helped Crystal Palace equalize. He volleyed from the edge of the penalty area into the net.

Trossard scored but it was not enough to bring home 3 points.

It seemed like the first half would end in a draw, but in the last minute, Trossard helped Arsenal take a 2-1 lead. Taking the lead for the second time could not help Arsenal secure the victory. They were surprised by Crystal Palace's attack and created many chances in the second half. The Arsenal goalkeeper made more than one excellent save from the opponent's shots, but in the 83rd minute, he was helpless to watch his own net shake. Mateta took full advantage of Saliba's mistake to equalize 2-2.

Without Gabriel, Saliba seems to be losing himself. He was directly at fault in two of the last three goals conceded by his team (last week he lost the ball in the penalty area to allow Vinicius to score).

And those mistakes also caused the Gunners to lose their last hope of blocking Liverpool's progress. The 2-2 draw prevented them from closing the gap. Thus, with 12 points ahead of Arsenal while there are 4 rounds left, Liverpool only need to win 1 more point to be crowned Premier League 2024/25.
