39 mins: Sanchez crosses into the box, a decent delivery, but there is no-one there to meet it. As good as Arsenal have been in this half they'll know they need a second goal to kill off the contest.
44 mins: Arsenal have just gone slightly off the boil in the Emirates rain, and if it stays 1-0 going into half-time Palace may feel they have got off rather lightly for what has been a really poor performance.
45 mins: Sanchez drives in a shot but it's straight at Hennessey.
One minute of added time.
45 mins: It should be 2-0. Kelly makes a mess of a clearance and the ball falls to Sanchez who takes a touch and shoots, but Hennessey saves. Big chance.
HALF-TIME
A very good first half from Arsenal capped off by a wonderful Giroud goal that will live long in the memory. It's been all Arsenal but Palace are not out of this yet. They will surely improve in the second half - will they make the Gunners pay for missed chances?
The best goal of the season? Best in the Premier League? Best goal ever scored? The debate is raging about Giroud's goal.
