Arsenal 4-1 Crystal Palace: Bukayo Saka at the double as rampant Gunners move eight points clear in title race

Arsenal will head into the March international break boasting a commanding eight-point lead at the Premier League summit after brushing aside Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Bukayo Saka scored a stylish brace and Gabriel Martinelli and Granit Xhaka were also on target as the Gunners eased to a sixth straight top-flight victory in another London derby to quickly bounce back from their shock Europa League last-16 exit at the hands of Sporting Lisbon and take another key step towards a first title since 2004.
