Following a dazzling display of mastery, Arsenal now have an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League with just 10 matches to play after their latest convincing victory over struggling Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners put on an attacking spirit with left winger Gabriel Martinelli creating the breakthrough goal, and right winger Bukayo Saka scoring twice.
Forward Leandro Trossard dished out another assist to Granit Xhaka, who also got a goal on the action.
Crystal Palace, who fired their coach just two days ago, could have taken the lead with a little bit of luck after Wilfried Zaha hit the post and watched the ball bounce off Arsenal’s ‘keeper and out for a corner instead of goal-bound.
Crystal Palace under manager boss Paddy McCarthy, reduced the goals tally to 3-1 in the second half.
That was just their sixth goal in their last 13 matches. They are now winless in those 13 contests in all competitions, a barren streak that ultimately cost Patrick Vieira his job.
