On October 27, 2019, Arsenal hosted Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium in a Premier League match that would end in a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Just nine minutes into the game, Arsenal's centre backs Sokratis and David Luiz scored two goals within 106 seconds, both coming from corner kicks delivered by Nicolas Pepe.
However, the momentum shifted in favour of Crystal Palace in the second half, with Jordan Ayew levelling the score with a header seven minutes after the restart.
As the game intensified, Arsenal boss Unai Emery made a tactical substitution, withdrawing Granit Xhaka, who was booed by the home support. The incensed skipper took off his shirt and stormed down the tunnel.
But just as it seemed Arsenal would snatch a late winner, VAR intervened and overruled Sokratis' goal for a foul in the buildup from Calum Chambers, leaving both sides to share the points.
