Arsenal continued their imperious form at the top of the Premier League when they faced Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon. The Eagles looked to make the game awkward as they chased a first win in the division since the start of 2023, with former Gunners captain Patrick Vieira dismissed as manager just before the match.
After an end-to-end start, the north London side took control of the game after half-an-hour when Gabriel Martinelli found the back of the net. Bukayo Saka quickly doubled that lead before half-time, with Granit Xhaka adding a third just after the break to take a grasp of the tie.
Jeffery Schlupp pulled one back for the visitors with a goal from a corner, but any concern of a comeback from the crowd was soon put to rest as Saka scored once again. It was an ideal response to the side's defeat to Sporting CP in the Europa League in midweek.
