Arsenal beat Crystal Palace away 1-0
This despite the fact that Tomiyasu was sent off with just under half an hour to go.
Thus, last year’s runner-up has taken two victories out of two possible.
Arsenal have started the season in the best way.
On Monday, the team picked up their second three points in two games after beating Crystal Palace 1-0.
This despite the fact that full-back Takehiro Tomiyasu received his second yellow card with just under half an hour left.
The Norwegian decided
Despite Arsenal’s dominance in the first half, it was still goalless when the second half kicked off. But in the 54th minute of the match, Martin Ödegaard scored the only goal of the match from a penalty to give Arsenal the lead.

1-0 would also stand the match, but it was far from obvious.
Took other yellow
Takehiro Tomiyasu, who replaced new signing Jurrien Timber who was injured in the opener, picked up his first yellow card in the 60th minute of the match. And just seven minutes later he would have to leave the field after his second yellow.
After that, the match picture changed. Palace came close and had a few good chances to equalise, but never got the ball in the net. The match ended 1–0 to “The Gunners”
Arsenal thus took their second odd-goal victory of the season and are up on six points out of a possible six.
