Arsenal got off to a tremendous start in the Premier League and more than lived up to their early season billing as not only genuine top four contenders but also the chance that even more could come.
With a free-flowing first half at Selhurst Park they should have been out of sight within the first 30 minutes, their 2-0 score line at the end of the game was a demonstration of how far they've come as well, holding off a stubborn Palace side at arm's length in the second half.
Perhaps the most impressive thing is that this still isn't Arsenal's best-looking team. Kieran Tierney is still to return, his introduction could move Oleksandr Zinchenko into midfield where he has looked silky for Manchester City and Ukraine. Emile Smith Rowe is making his steps back into training and could be involved sooner rather than later, adding extra creativity for the already on-form Gabriel Jesus.
