Arsenal je stigao do prve pobjede, a mnogi zasluge za to pripisuju sucu utakmice
Arsenal je startao bez ijednog domaćeg nogometaša i to 137. puta u Premierligi
Nogometaši Arsenala stigli su u nedjelju do premijerne pobjede u engleskom prvenstvu nakon što su na gostovanju kod Crystala Palacea slavili 2-1 pobjedu u 2. kolu Premierlige.
Sjajan gol Oliviera Girouda i precizan dalekometni prizemni udarac Joela Warda označili su ono najvažnije u prvome poluvremenu utakmice na Selhurst Parku, da bi Damien Delaney nespretnom reakcijom zabio u vlastitu mrežu za tri boda sastava kojeg vodi Arsene Wenger.

Özil i Mason
Mnogi nakon utakmice, pak, pričaju o sjajnoj igri Mesuta Özila koji asistirao kod prvog pogotka momčadi, ali i izvrsno igrao za Arsenal cijelu utakmicu. Loptu je suigračima pokušao dodati u 55 prilike, a u tome nije uspio samo jednom.

Having Ozil in your team is a privilege. Watching him play is total happiness.

There's everyone on the pitch at Selhurst Park. And then there's Mesut Ozil.

Priča se i o glavnom sucu Leeju Masonu koji je propustio iz utakmice isključiti već opomenutog Francisa Coquelina nakon starta na Wilfriedu Zahi, ali i još nekoliko grubih prekršaja.

Lee Mason is a terrible referee. Your given the power to make decisions, at least attempt to make a few correct ones.

I honestly think that Lee Mason has been sent by the @FA to troll football fans. There's no other reason he's employed.

Lee Mason has Francis Coquelin as the budget option in his fantasy team doesn't he? And he's coming off the bench.

Dodajmo da je ovo bila Arsenalova 137 utakmica u Premierligi u koju su startali sa jedanaest stranaca. Usporedbe radi, sve druge momčadi u ligi zajedno su to napravile 37 puta manje.
