Arsenal Blow Crystal Palace Away To Send Title Message To Liverpool & Man City

The team led by Mikel Arteta returned to winning ways in the Premier League, defeating Palace 5–0 to take third place in the standings.

Gabriel Magalhaes opened the scoring for the Gunners with a header from Declan Rice’s corner and the Brazilian thought he had bagged his second of the game eight minutes before half-time, but his header went in off the back of Palace keeper Dean Henderson and was eventually given as an own goal.
