The Norwegian scores from the penalty spot to maintain Arsenal's winning start to the season after Takehiro Tomiyasu's red card at Selhurst Park
He was unfortunate with the first, creating the chance for himself by brilliantly rolling Joachim Andersen to wriggle into space before cushioning a side-footed finish onto the foot of the post, but the second was wasteful, an ambitious dink that floated over the bar.created it with a cute pass after a surging run and was visibly frustrated with the casualness of it, looking up to the sky in anguished displeasure. Odegaard also fired an effort on goal with Johnstone palming it over the top.
The Brazilian has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad recently. It is a curious situation, though, not least because Arteta’s back four in south London contained last season’s right-back in the middle, a central midfielder in his place, and another natural right-back on the left.
Odsonne Edouard had a good early opportunity but was unable to sort his feet out, before Eberechi Eze drew the game’s first save from Aaron Ramsdale, selected ahead of new recruit David Raya. A momentary lapse of concentration from the otherwise flawless Saliba almost allowed Jordan Ayew a free run at goal, but the chance was denied almost as soon as it was granted as the Frenchman sprinted back into position to dispossess him with an immaculately timed sliding tackle.
But Arsenal began the second half positively and soon went in front. Martinelli’s clever free-kick found Nketiah who nudged the ball away from the onrushing Johnstone.
