Arsenal missed out on the chance to jump back into the top four as their Champions League ambitions were dented by Crystal Palace.
The Eagles saw off their London rivals at Selhurst Park as two first-half goals set them on their way to three points. Patrick Vieira's side had been cruelly denied on their visit to the Emirates earlier this season as a last minute equaliser forced them to settle for a point. This time though they were not to be thwarted as they did Tottenham a major favour.
Antonio Conte's side leapfrogged Arsenal into fourth on Sunday but were relying on the Gunners slipping up. They got their wish as Jean-Philippe Mateta set the hosts on their way before Jordan Ayew doubled their lead shortly after. Arsenal struggled to find a response in the second-half before Wilfried Zaha won and converted a penalty to make the game safe.
