Thomas Partey returned from injury as Arsenal failed to beat Crystal Palace in the Premier League encounter at Emirate Stadium on Thursday night.

Arsenal were a disappointment going forward, their best effort at goal a shot on the turn from Alexandre Lacazette into the side-netting.

However, both sides had chances to win the match with Arsenal skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was denied by Spanish keeper Vicente Guaita.

There was more goalmouth action at the other end, with James Tomkins heading an Eberechi Eze free-kick against the bar and Christian Benteke drawing a fine save from Bernd Leno with a nodded effort of his own.

As a result, Arsenal and Palace remain in 11th and 13th places respectively in the table
