EPL: I wasn’t surprised Arsenal failed to beat Crystal Palace – Arne Slot
Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, has said he was not surprised to see Arsenal held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
The result put the Reds on the brink of the title.
Slot’s men only need a point against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday to be confirmed Premier League champions.
Arsenal drew 2-2 with Palace at Emirates Stadium, a game in which they were twice pegged back after taking the lead.
For the Gunners, the focus has long since turned to trying to win the Champions League but Slot felt the game summed up the Premier League and its quality.
He told a press conference on Friday: “It was different. Normally when you watch a game of football, you are either alone or with family or friends. But we watched it all together.
“Before the game, I would have been surprised if the game ended in a draw. But during the game, I wasn’t because Crystal Palace again showed what this league is all about.
“It was a very good performance from them as a team and there were a few very good individual performances as well.”
