Arsenal CEO was in the stands as they lost to Crystal Palace
Arsenal slumped to defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday night, taking a serious blow in their bid to finish in the top four.
In the dying moments of the 3-0 defeat at Selhurst Park, the television cameras panned to chief executive Ivan Gazidis, who cut an unhappy sight.
Gazidis could have a major influence over manager Arsene Wenger’s future at the club, and he cannot be happy with what he witnessed.

As a team Arsenal never got started, and produced a limp display with no leadership or conviction.
Arsenal’s away fans voiced their dismay at the result, while Crystal Palace fans chanted that they wanted Wenger to stay. It was an ultimate humiliation.
The Gunners sit in sixth place and face an uphill struggle to finish in the top four, while catching rivals Tottenham looks to be an impossible task with a 14 point gap now existing between the two sides.
Arsene Wenger has never been in a more difficult position as Arsenal boss, and it really looks like it could be the end, barring a dramatic turnaround.
