CRYSTAL PALACE RATINGS: Vicente Guaita 7 – Looked untroubled for the majority, but he could not keep out Martinelli’s header and cannot be faulted for Guehi’s own goal. AFP
Nathaniel Clyne 6 – Looked nervous at times. Booked for a late challenge on Martinelli after 64 minutes. AP Photo
Joachim Andersen 9 – A strong performance from the centre-back who provided much-needed physicality that frustrated Arsenal. Impressed with long-range passes that continuously sent his team into attack. Almost assisted Edouard with a header across goal. AFP
Marc Guehi 6 – An uncomfortable night in defence. Inadvertently turned the ball into his own net after a Saka drove in a cross after 85 minutes. AFP
Tyrick Mitchell 7 – A disciplined performance. Got back well to put Saka under pressure after 72 minutes. AFP
Cheick Doucoure 7 – Worked hard and showed lots of endeavour in his first competitive appearance for Crystal Palace. Substituted after 75 minutes. Reuters
Jeffrey Schlupp 6 – A quieter night for the midfielder, and he was replaced by Will Hughes after 86 minutes. Reuters
Jordan Ayew 8 – Troubled the Arsenal defence in the second half as he looked to get on the end Andersen’s long passes. AFP
Eberechi Eze 7 – A lively performance. Had a great chance to equalise after 51 minutes but his shot was straight at Ramsdale. Taken off after 86 minutes. Reuters
Wilfried Zaha 7 – Looked dangerous after the break. Exceptional through ball to Eze who failed find the back of the net at 52 minutes. Shortly followed this with a darting run as he continued to trouble Ben White. PA
Odsonne Edouard 6– Had a great chance to equalise before half time but his stooping header was saved comfortably by Ramsdale. Substituted after 58 minutes. AP Photo
SUBS: Jean-Philippe Mateta (Edouard, 58) 6 - Looked to make things happen and had a shot saved and turned behind for a corner shortly after coming on. Reuters
Luka Milivojevic (Doucoure, 75) 5 - Did not make any impact on the game after coming on for Doucoure. Reuters

ARSENAL RATINGS: Aaron Ramsdale 7 – A nervy performance. Invited unnecessary pressure onto his defence by taking too long on the ball. Good save after 41 minutes to deny Edouard. AFP
Oleksandr Zinchenko 8 – Came close to scoring his first Premier League goal after a strike was parried away by Guaita after 9 minutes. Headed the ball across the goal to assist Martinelli after 20 minutes in a well-worked set piece. Taken off after 83 minutes. AFP
William Saliba 9 – An impressive performance in the heart of defence on his competitive debut. Provided some crucial interventions, including two sliding tackles to stop Zaha. PA
Gabriel 7 – Overall the Brazilian dealt well with his defensive duties. AP Photo
Ben White 7 – A solid performance out of position at right-back. Booked after 62 minutes as he dragged down Zaha. AFP
Thomas Partey 6 – Offered a physical presence in midfield. Drove forward at 35 minutes before being brought down by Ayew. AFP
Granit Xhaka 7 – A confident performance in midfield. Booked for diving after 44 minutes after going down easily following pressure from Andersen. Reuters
Gabriel Martinelli 7 – Scored the first goal of the new Premier League season, heading home from close range and making up for his clear miss in the opening minutes. AFP
Bukayo Saka 7 – Regularly threatened in attack and repeatedly got back to help Ben White in defence. Blasted the ball high and wide from a tight angle after 69 minutes. Secured his side the victory as his cross was turned in by Guehi for an own goal. AFP
Martin Odegaard 6 – The Arsenal captain had a relatively quiet night, but showed some nice touches in the middle. Should have made it 2-0 after 60 minutes but failed to get a shot away, and he was replaced in the closing minutes of the game. PA
Gabriel Jesus 8 – Looked dangerous all night. Showed his quality with great footwork after just 3 minutes. Stole the ball of Guehi and could have had an assist after 60 minutes, but Odegaard failed to get a shot away. Replaced by Nketiah after 83 minutes. EPA
