Arsenal got back to winning in the Premier League with a convincing 5–1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners secured their second victory over Palace in four days, following their 3–2 EFL Cup quarterfinal win over the Eagles on Wednesday.

Striker Gabriel Jesus, who scored a hat trick in midweek, continued his goal-scoring form at Selhurst Park, beating goalkeeper Dean Henderson with a side-footed effort to give Arsenal the lead after six minutes.

However, visiting goalkeeper David Raya nearly handed Palace an equalizer with a poor back-pass, before Ismaïla Sarr scored a fantastic equalizer for Palace moments later, with a superb curled strike from the edge of the penalty area.

Arsenal restored their lead when Jesus scored his second of the match, and his fifth goal against Palace this week with a great close-range finish after Thomas Partey’s lay-off.

Jean-Philippe Mateta had a great chance to equalize for Palace, but was denied by a brilliant save from Aaron Ramsdale.
