Arsenal missed the chance to go third in the Premier League table after they were held 1-1 by Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.
Alexis Sanchez put the Gunners ahead on the stroke of half-time. The Gunners after this, struggled ans squandered several opportunities before Yannick Bolasie secured a point for the visitors. Bolasie's goal is his fifth league goal of the season.
The winger cut inside on the 81st minute through a pass from former Arsenal player, Emmanuel Adebayor, and caught Petr Cech by surprise with a low drive from the edge of the box that found the corner of the goal post.
The visitors could have won the game when substitute Wilfried Zaha capitalised on an error from Laurent Koscielny, but a last-ditch tackle from Gabriel bailed out his team-mate.
The result leaves Arsenal looking over their shoulder in the race for a top-four spot, with Manchester United just four points behind them in fifth place.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace remains 16th and extends their unbeaten run to four Premier League matches.
