What Does 3-2 Defeat To Crystal Palace Mean To Iwobi's Champions League Hope?
Published: April 22, 2019
The race for this season's Premier League title is far from over after Liverpool and Manchester City recorded victories against Cardiff and Tottenham respectively.
As we have it in the race for the title, so it is in the race for top-four finish as Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Arsenal are all actively involved.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's hope of picking up one of the two remaining Champions League slots encountered a huge blow following their shocking 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace.
The Gunners had won ten of their last home matches which made their fans believe that Emery's men will defeat the Eagles without stress.
However, things didn't turn out as expected for the home side as goals from Benteke, Zaha and McArthur saw them lose their first home game in 11 league matches.
With yesterday's defeat, Arsenal hope of qualifying for next season's Champions League now hangs in the balance and they will need to improve their overall display in the remaining matches.
The North London club still have a slim chance of appearing in the competition next season, thanks to Manchester United's humiliating defeat to Everton on Sunday and Tottenham's narrow defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.
As it stands on the League standings, the Gunners occupy the fourth position with 66 points and they're closely followed by Chelsea who have equal points but an inferior goal difference.
Manchester United are on sixth position with 64 points and they now rely on luck to finish among the top-four clubs.
