Arsenal vs Crystal Palace player ratings: Granit Xhaka and fans clash as Gunners held by Eagles at Emirates

Arsenal were held 2-2 by Crystal Palace at home after surrendering a two-goal lead with VAR denying Sokratis a late winner.

The Gunners raced into a two-goal lead through two unlikely sources.

First Sokratis and then David Luiz puttings the hosts clear of the visitors, but with Luka Milivojevic’s penalty – following a VAR review that forced Martin Atkinson to rescind a yellow card for Wilfried Zaha.

Then Jordan Ayew equalised for the Eagles, which led to a toxic Emirates, who booed captain Granit Xhaka, with the Swiss international responding in kind. Sokratis thought he had a second and a vital winner, but VAR cut short the celebrations.

Here are the player ratings from the Emirates.
