Arsenal ties with Crystal Palace 1-1


It seems that Arsenal has lost its momentum and never regained it during their match against the Crystal Palace at the Emirates.

The players’ performances were apparently sub-par, considering there were many opportunities for a good thrust during the game. For instance, Alexis Sanchez was able to score the first goal of the game, with the help of Danny Welbeck. At this point, the match’s monotonous arrangement was broken, creating an uproar among Arsenal supporters as the team was leading.

But the match turned out to be a linear one. Arsenal and Crystal Palace seem uninterested in winning the match. The former has a minor head start, giving fans the adrenaline and confidence they signed up for as they expect their team to storm out of the match as victors. Much to the dismay of fans, the match ended with a draw, both teams having scored one goal each.

It could be observed that Crystal Palace might have had difficulty finding the right approach to win the match. Arsenal’s Elneny and Coquelin were able to stop Crystal Palace from gathering momentum, and though Crystal Palace tried to do a 4-4-2 formation initiated by Alan Pardew, the expected output was not achieved. In fact, this was precisely why Crystal Palace was not able to cut through Arsenal as they were outnumbered in midfield.

Despite mistakes from Palace, Arsenal still was not able to gain the lead and get more goals. If Arsenal keeps this type of performance up, the most plausible win would be third place for them, but at least they are not completely out of the league.

Sports Betting

Now part of the sports industry, sports betting has become widely controversial and common to fans and enthusiasts. It started from simply predicting the outcome, putting a wager on a team that an individual thinks will win. However, it has evolved over time, and a simple wager that one could do with casually with a friend has now become more advanced. 

For instance, there are various types of bets nowadays, such as spread betting, free betting online, moneyline bets, teasers, and if bets from a number of sports betting websites. Although bettors would usually put a wager on the team they side with or the team they think is better, bettors have now grown smarter and used historical data to predict outcomes more accurately considering that sports betting has now evolved to become huge money makers. The legality of sports betting depend on each country, city, or state, as well as the type of bets allowed.
