football live scores: Eze scores as Arsenal beat Palace

Eberechi Eze scored against his former club as Arsenal beat Crystal Palace to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points. Eze joined the Gunners in a deal worth £67m in the summer and his winner came from another trademark Arsenal set-piece. Declan Rice curled a free-kick into the area which was knocked down by centre-back Gabriel, then Eze acrobatically fired the ball into the corner of the net. Crystal Palace, who lost to AEK Larnaca in midweek, did threaten on occasion with Jean-Philippe Mateta battling against the solid Arsenal defence - but they did not trouble David Raya in goal. Arsenal nearly doubled their lead in the second half when Gabriel hit the crossbar with a header and Bukayo Saka went close with a curled effort from the edge of the ...

transfer news: Arsenal keen to sign Yildiz

Kenan Yildiz Since joining Juventus from Bayern Munich in 2022, Yildiz’s development has been rapid. Initially signed on a free transfer, the Turkish international made his senior debut a year later and has since cemented his place in the first-team squad. Last season, he contributed to 15 goals across competitions, a remarkable tally for a player still finding his rhythm in top-flight football. This term, his performances have been equally impressive. Yildiz has already netted twice against high-profile opposition, including Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund, while adding four assists in just eight appearances. His blend of creativity and composure in front of goal has earned comparisons to players such as Mesut Özil and Paulo Dybala – gifted technicians capable of influenc...
