Arsenal

Arsenal's Georgia Stanway speaking to BBC Sport: "It's a tough one to take, even tougher because we completely dominated. Created a lot of chances, a lot of shots, the ball didn't go in the back of the net. It's disappointing, this early on we don't want to be dropping points. There is a lot to take from today though. It means a lot but it doesn't mean anything in what comes for us."

"We can have a moment today to reflect and be disappointed. All focus is to United. I know it's frustrating and we didn't get the ball in the net but there's a lot of positives."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Jo Potter, speaking to BBC Sport: "We knew there'd be moments where we could hurt Arsenal. The atmosphere, the pitch, the players can be energy sapping. My players did excellent in showing a new side to the game today."

"We've played the game's going to come thick and fast, we can't get too carried away with it. We've got to keep learning, building. The ambition before the season was to stay up. We're an ambitious group, this is a good tick along the way."

Crystal Palace boss Jo Potter on the addition of Peyraud-Magnin: "We knew we had to strengthen in many departments to fight in this league. It's that experience of knowing what top level football is like. She's so calm, so laid back and it really helps in that position. She's taken on information extremely well. She's working extremely hard and I think she's just enjoying being back out in the pitch."

On the substitute window debacle last week: "We know you can't dwell on things in this league. If you take your eye off it against Arsenal, they'll wipe you off the floor. They're a team to be reckoned with, we knew we'd have to fight. I never questioned where anyone's head was at."

Renee Slegers says shooting practice will be a "big part" of training in the coming week for Arsenal.

Full quotes from the Gunners boss to come.

Crystal Palace

Player of the match Aimee Everett speaking to BBC Sport: "Just about got my breath back, took a point from them, it's huge. Going off the back of last week, we knew we could come and get something from it. It shows a whole collective effort, the team, the subs that came on, unbelievable."

On last week: "We deserved the three points last week. Put it aside, we don't want to rely on it, it's a long season. Our focus was on coming here."

"Possession doesn't win you games. The defensive performance we had last week, we knew we need it again today but more."

"Huge things, two seasons ago we weren't happy. We know we're capable of staying in this league, we know we're capable of showing that. It's a long season, only two weeks in."

"Always difficult coming to the Emirates, the fans carried us through that. We'll roll up our sleeves and go again next week."

How well do you know your Women's Super League players?

Palace keeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin is having a laugh with her coaches on the sidelines. She made eight saves today and was critical to this result.

She made 16 league appearances for Arsenal between 2018 and 2020. The curse of the returning player strikes for the Gunners.

Arsenal's next three WSL fixtures are Man Utd at home, Chelsea away, Manchester City away.

How damaging dropping two points today is, will perhaps only become clear after that run of games.

Two seasons ago, Crystal Palace lost all eight of their London derbies in the Women’s Super League, conceding 39 goals in total at an average of 4.9 per game.

In four previous meetings with Arsenal, they lost all four by an aggregate score of 20-0.

That's how big today's result is for them.

It's a huge result for Palace, you can see the emotion in the coaching staff, the squad and the bench. That was an absolute shift by them, they had to dig deep and it wasn't pretty at times. They came here with a gameplan, frustrate Arsenal, who had chances but couldn't convert.

As the frustration grew, Palace's confidence grew. They thoroughly deserve those points.

That's a massive point for Palace. Two clean sheets for Jo Potter, last year they only had one so already they've shown improvement. For the amount of opportunities and possession Arsenal had, this Palace side showed a really good stubbornness in the box.

Palace players and staff, led by manager Jo Potter, celebrate in front of their away fans - and rightly so.

Amid all the noise about the subs controversy last weekend, they never lost their concentration today.

There might be an asterisk next to it for now, but they have four points from the opening two games.

Arsenal had 30 shots, nine on target. They had 79% possession, including SEVENTY-FOUR touches in the Palace box.

But they could not get it done. Could that cost them in the long run of the WSL title race?

For me, the whole Palace defence has been brilliant but Aimee Everett is my player of the match. She's led by example all game and she has dominated the match-up between her and Alessia Russo.

Palace are there! No controversy about this result.

Arsenal will be furious with themselves.
