Arsenal's winning run ends at 11

Arsenal's 11-match winning run came to a dramatic end as Luka Milivojevic's late penalty rescued Crystal Palace in a contentious 2-2 draw on Sunday.

Unai Emery's side failed to win a 12th successive match in all competitions as they fell short of the club's record of 14 victories in a row.

Arsenal fell behind to the first of two Milivojevic penalties just before half-time at Selhurst Park. Granit Xhaka equalised with a sublime free-kick before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang poked in his ninth goal of the season in controversial circumstances.

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette flicked the ball to Aubameyang with his hand, but officials failed to spot the offence. Angered by that blow, Palace felt justice was done when Wilfried Zaha won a second penalty with seven minutes left and Milivojevic slotted home again.

It was a frustrating afternoon for Emery, whose captain Mesut Ozil reacted angrily when he was substituted in the 68th minute, the German throwing his gloves to the floor after stomping past the Arsenal manager.

It was the latest flare-up between the pair after Ozil was reportedly angered by Emery's demand that he work harder in matches earlier this season.

Arsenal remain fourth in the Premier League, but missed the chance to keep pace with leaders Liverpool, who are four points clear of the north Londoners.

Arsenal keeper Leno made a hash of punching clear from a corner and a panicked Mustafi needlessly lunged into Cheikhou Kouyate.

Palace captain Milivojevic missed a penalty in their defeat at Everton last weekend.  Unfazed, Milivojevic kept his nerve this time to send Leno the wrong way from the spot.

Having finally scored their first home league goal this season at the fifth attempt -- a futile streak that lasted 417 minutes -- Palace needed to keep Arsenal at bay after the break.

However, it took only six minutes for Xhaka to equalise as the Gunners yet again turned on the style in the second half.

The Swiss midfielder smashed a superb curling free-kick into the far corner of Wayne Hennessey's net from way out on the right flank.

Arsenal had seized the momentum and they snatched the lead in controversial circumstances in the 56th minute.

After that, Max Meyer hit the outside of a post as Palace pushed for a leveller and the hosts felt justice was done when they won another penalty in the 83rd minute. For the second time, Milivojevic was coolness personified as he drilled past Leno to end Arsenal's winning run.

CHELSEA STAY UNBEATEN WITH BURNLEY BASHING

Chelsea went second in the Premier League with a comfortable 4-0 win at Burnley on Sunday which maintained their unbeaten start to the season.

The London club are two points behind leaders Liverpool and one point ahead of champions Manchester City, who play Spur on Monday.

Maurizio Sarri's side barely noticed the absence of Eden Hazard as Willian, starting in the Belgian's normal position on the left, scored and hit a post.

Spanish striker Alvaro Morata gave Chelsea the lead midway through a first half in which he might have netted three times.

England midfielder Ross Barkley set him up for that goal and added the second himself from outside the penalty area early in the second half.

Brazilian Willian curled home the third five minutes later and substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek completed the scoring in stoppage-time.
