Arsenal could only manage to draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Ian Wright has told Match of the Day 2, which was broadcast on BBC One on 28th October, that he finds it incredible that Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi would dive in like he did against Crystal Palace.

Mustafi gave away a penalty in the first half, when he seemed to panic after a ball broke lose from a corner.

The German defender slide in to try and get the ball, but simply took out a Palace attacker in his desperation.

And Wright felt that Mustafi’s decision making was terrible, as he let his side down.

“I find it incredible that a player of his experience would do something like that. You just think ‘come on’,” Wright said.

Palace went on to score the penalty through Luka Milivojevic, but Arsenal struck back.

The Gunners scored twice to gain a lead, but they once again gave away a spot kick late on, which Milivojevic converted.

The draw brought to an end Arsenal’s run of 11 straight victories, but they have still been able to climb up the Premier League table thanks to their recent good form.

Unai Emery’s side are next in action on Wednesday evening, when they take on Blackpool in the EFL Cup.
