Arsenal travelled to Crystal Palace for the weekend’s early kick-off, coming away with a point and a need for both Mikel Arteta and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to apologise for his red card tackle that left Max Meyer facing likely ligament damage.

Inter Milan are close to signing Olivier Giroud from Chelsea, with only a small difference between valuations, according to reports from Italy. That seems a much better option than joining Tottenham.
