Crystal Palace Vs Arsenal Live Score, Premier League: Gabriel Jesus Fires Gunners Ahead Before Half-Time

Arsenal go into the break with a deserved 1-0 lead over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Gabriel Jesus, who had missed a couple of earlier opportunities, finally found the breakthrough just before half-time with a sharp near-post finish after excellent work from Ethan Dowman and Gabriel Martinelli. Crystal Palace had their moments too, but Kepa Arrizabalaga produced a brilliant save to deny Daniel Munoz and keep the Gunners in front heading into the second half.

Arsenal finally break the deadlock and it’s a brilliant finish from Gabriel Jesus! Ethan Dowman starts the move with a clever touch before Gabriel Martinelli threads a perfect pass into the Brazilian striker. After missing two earlier chances, Jesus makes no mistake this time, drilling a low right-footed shot past Dean Henderson at the near post. The Arsenal forward celebrates with his trademark phone gesture as the away end erupts at Selhurst Park.

Goals are being scored across the Premier League on the final day, but Selhurst Park remains goalless. The same story is unfolding in the relegation battles elsewhere, where tension is clearly outweighing attacking freedom. Arsenal and Crystal Palace continue to probe cautiously in a tight contest with few clear-cut chances so far.

A brief pause in play here for the scheduled water break as temperatures remain high at Selhurst Park. News filtering through that Manchester City have taken the lead against Aston Villa, though Arsenal fans appear far more relaxed than they might have been earlier in the week. Some travelling supporters have even spotted Manchester City-branded water bottles in the stands and are enjoying the moment with plenty of laughs and cheers.

Big chance for Crystal Palace and an even better save from Kepa Arrizabalaga! Daniel Munoz bursts into space inside the box, slips past Calafiori, and fires a powerful effort towards goal, but the Arsenal goalkeeper reacts brilliantly with a full-stretch diving stop to his left. Tempers and bodies then fly from the resulting corner as Strand Larsen and Lewis-Skelly tumble to the turf in a crowded penalty area scramble.

Arsenal’s reshuffled setup is already catching the eye at Selhurst Park. Martin Zubimendi has started at right-back, while Cristhian Mosquera partners Christian Norgaard in central defence in a highly experimental lineup from Mikel Arteta. Despite the changes, Zubimendi, Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori are all expected to play important roles in the upcoming clash against PSG.

We are underway at Selhurst Park on the final day of the Premier League season.

Good evening, everyone. We are building up to the start of the matchday 38 (final day) fixture between The Gunners and Palace. Watch this space for live updates!
