      Mikel Arteta’s masterpiece of a game on Saturday was not forgotten especially after Gabriel’s standout performance.

      While another added: “Wait, isn’t this against the rules. You can’t expose a team’s tactics.”
      A third then angrily put: “Shame on you Premier League! Exposing our secrets that set-piece dedicated analysts who get paid 50k a year can’t spot!”
      The clip shows how Trossard drags Andersen from Palace out of his spot before Gabriel appears to nod the ball into the goal.

      And two League Two matches have been postponed just hours before kick-off due to frozen pitches.
      Notts County and Walsall’s respective clashes with Stockport County and Accrington Stanley have been axed due to unplayable pitches at Meadow Lane and the Bescot Stadium.
      The Magpies confirmed the postponement of their clash with Stockport via a statement on their official website and on Twitter.
      It read: “This afternoon’s Sky Bet League Two fixture against Stockport County has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.
      “Following persistently cold temperatures, which have fallen as low as -7 in Nottingham this week, the Meadow Lane playing surface is heavily frozen despite frost covers and heat lamps being used, as well as groundstaff working through the night.
      “Following a preliminary inspection by an EFL-appointed official yesterday, it was determined that the match referee should assess the surface at 8.30am this morning.
      “As the frost is well established and the sun cannot reach all areas of the playing surface, the referee had little confidence that today’s temperatures would improve conditions sufficiently for the match to safely go ahead.
      “And it was agreed that an early decision was sensible in the interests of both sets of supporters and their clubs.
