Arsenal Beats Crystal Palace 1-0 in EPL Clash

LONDON, England — Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace in a closely contested match at Emirates Stadium on October 26, 2025. This win helped Arsenal maintain its position at the top of the Premier League table with 22 points.

The only goal of the match came from Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze in the 38th minute. Eze fired a shot from the center of the area after a well-executed set piece, leaving Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson with no chance.

Though Arsenal controlled possession throughout the match, registering 65.5%, Crystal Palace showed they could compete, particularly with fast breaks led by Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner expressed disappointment in the result but praised his team’s effort. “We played well and created chances, but we weren’t clinical enough in front of goal,” he said post-match.

Despite dominating possession, Arsenal’s attacks were at times thwarted by Palace’s disciplined defense, which did well to contain Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard. Arsenal faced five shots on goal but only managed to convert one.

The match featured several intense moments, including a near miss for Crystal Palace in the second half when Mateta’s quick break forced Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya into a crucial save.

Looking ahead, Arsenal aims to maintain their lead in the Premier League, while Crystal Palace will need to regroup for their next match. The team remains optimistic despite the defeat, with Glasner stating, “There’s still a long season ahead, and we will bounce back stronger.”
