Arsenal lacks 'energy' in Palace draw

Gunners' lackluster result puts Liverpool a point away from record-equaling championship

LONDON — Mikel Arteta admitted Arsenal has to get its "energy "back for its Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain, following a lackluster 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace that left Liverpool on the brink of winning the Premier League.

Arteta's side was hoping to warm up for its first Champions League semifinal appearance since 2009 with a victory over Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

But, Jakub Kiwior's third-minute header for the Gunners was canceled out by Eberechi Eze's volley in the 27th minute.
