Arsenal draws 2-2 with Crystal Palace, Liverpool still needs to wait for a chance to win the championship

At the Emirates Stadium, although Arsenal tied with Crystal Palace 2-2, Liverpool still had to wait until "Super Sunday" to finalize the Premier League title. At the end of the game, Jean-Philippe Mateta, who came on as a substitute, scored a wonderful equalizer to help Crystal Palace take a point away from home, and also temporarily paused Liverpool's championship celebration.

If Crystal Palace gets all three points in North London, Liverpool will be crowned without playing. However, this draw means that as long as they do not lose against Tottenham this Sunday, they can win the 20th top league championship trophy in team history.

Arsenal tried to delay the Reds' celebration. Just three minutes into the game, Odegaard sent a precise cross from a free kick, and Jakub Kivio headed in the goal, giving the hosts the lead. This was Arsenal's 16th set-piece goal in the Premier League this season, surpassing Crystal Palace and leading the league.

But Crystal Palace soon responded. In a corner kick, Adam Walton unexpectedly passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and Eberechi Eze volleyed the ball, which hit the post and bounced into the net, equalizing the score for the visiting team.

If it weren't for Chivio, Eze's assist from former Arsenal youth player Nketiah would have likely hit back. However, the Gunners took the lead again before halftime. In the 41st minute, Trossard turned nimbly in the penalty area and his shot was deflected and flew into the goal, 2-1!

Considering the FA Cup semi-final with Aston Villa this weekend, Crystal Palace coach Oliver Glasner replaced Eze and Walton in the second half, but the team still maintained its offensive.

As the game was coming to an end, Arsenal scored the third goal, but after VAR replay, the referee determined that Yurien Timber failed to control the ball within bounds during the attack and the goal was invalid.

In the end, the game ended in a 2-2 draw, but the climax still came at the last moment. Arsenal defender William Saliba stopped the ball too hard in the penalty area, and Mateta cleverly intercepted the ball and shot into the goal, completing the fatal blow. This goal rekindled the hope of Liverpool players far away in Merseyside.
