72 min Here’s that chance for Eze at the start of the second half. Zaha retrieves the ball, beats White in the area and is emphatically tackled by Saliba. He’s having an excellent debut. 59 min: Chance for Odegaard! Jesus steals the ball off the dawdling Guehi and charges into space down the right. Zaha collects the loose ball, gets to the byline and has a cutback booted clear. Saliba and Gabriel look really solid in the centre of their defence. Clyne retrives it on the far side and puts it back into the middle. He switched the ball onto his right foot and hammered a cross that was headed into his own net by Guehi at the near post.

Arsenal begin the Premier League season with a solid victory at Selhurst Park. Gabriel Martinelli’s 20th-minute header was a deserved reward for a blistering start in which Gabriel Jesus caught the eye. They worked the ball nicely from left to right, where Saka ran at the backpedalling Mitchell just inside the area. Arsenal had to work much harder in the second half – another debutant, the centre-half William Saliba, was terrific – before Marc Guehi’s late own goal gave them a two-goal cushion.
