Arsenal passed up the opportunity to get back to the Premier League's main four after a lowering loss against Crystal Palace.
The Gunners went into the match hoping to answer after Tottenham jumped them into fourth on Sunday.
Arsenal realize that a point would return them to the best four, however, Mikel Arteta's side drooped to a 3-0 loss at Selhurst Park after a lackluster showing.
Jean-Phillipe Mateta opened the scoring and Jordan Ayew multiplied Palace's lead before Wilfried Zaha wrapped up the success in the final part with a punishment.
This is the way the Gunners were appraised against Crystal Palace
Aaron Ramsdale 5
Back in the side after the injury, however, he had a night to neglect. Not much he could do about the objectives, but rather his passing was messy.
Cedric 5
Had an intense first half facing Zaha, who caused him issues. Improved after the break, however, was taken off as Arteta tossed on one more forward.
Ben White 5
Hardly better than his middle-back accomplice, yet just barely by any means. Offered an unnecessary free-kick for Palace's initial objective.
Gabriel 4
The Brazilian has been a stone this season yet this should go down as one of his most terrible exhibitions. Was out of control, especially for Palace's subsequent objective.
Nuno Tavares 4
A berating night for the left-back, who was snared at half-time after a terrible showing. This was his initial beginning since Nottingham Forest in January when he was required off following 35 minutes.
Martin Odegaard 4
It is extremely uncommon that the Norwegian is this off it, yet he truly battled this evening. Strangely poor under lock and key and botched a decent opportunity to score in the final part as well. Offered a punishment to top everything off.
Thomas Partey 4
The midfielder has been astounding as of late, notwithstanding, he was truly poor at Selhurst Park. So messy under lock and key.
Granit Xhaka 6
Likely one of Arsenal's better players, albeit that isn't a lot to yell about. Filled in at left-back and afterward played in back-three as well.
Bukayo Saka 5
Attempted to get things going with a couple of runs cutting in from the right. Had a punishment yell waved away in the final part.
Alexandre Lacazette 4
Scarcely had a sniff the entire evening and summarized Arsenal's dull assault. Spent almost the entire game taking care of off-pieces.
Emile Smith Rowe 5
Like so many Arsenal players he simply wasn't exactly at the races. Botched a decent opportunity in the final part that he will have expected to score.
Replacements
Gabriel Martinelli (Nuno 45') 6
The main Arsenal player to emerge from this with any credit truly. At long last added speed and explicitness to Arsenal's assault.
Eddie Nketiah (Cedric 65') 6
Not an awful little appearance from the striker, who has been connected with a transition to Palace. Arrangement an incredible opportunity for Odegaard and hit the post as well.
Albert Sambi Lokonga (Partey 74') N/A
Subs not utilized: Leno, Holding, Ogungbo, Swanson, Elneny, Flores.
