Arsenal cruised to a 4-1 victory at home to manager-less and winless Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon, extending their lead at the Premier League summit to eight points going into the international break....CONTINUE READING
With ten games of the season left to play, Arsenal have already matched the points tally they accrued across the entirety of the previous campaign, taking advantage of Manchester City’s FA Cup duties to widen the gap at the top of the table and extend Crystal Palace’s wait for a win to 12 matches in 2023.
Here are the three best players from the game
Bukayo Saka
Two goals and an assist from the winger, who was excellent during this win. Picked out Martinelli for the opener and finished both of his two goals really well.
Leandro Trossard
Spent most of the game playing as a false nine, although he occasionally swapped roles with Martinelli. Set up the third goal by playing in Xhaka.
Gabriel Martinelli
A really well taken goal from the Brazilian to put his Thursday night penalty miss behind him. Had been good before that too and was solid after it.
