The Gunners prevailed easily in London duel against Crystal Palace, after the club sacked Vieira. Arsenal controlled everything from start to finish and, with one more game, made a big difference in relation to Manchester City.
Arsenal cleaned up Crystal Palace once again showing off their great offensive power. Arteta’s team continues to show signs of character, showing why they dominate the tournament, and with the plus of having immediately recovered from a painful elimination from the Europa League.
Gabriel Martinelli extended his great scoring moment by scoring the first one shortly after half an hour. The Brazilian put together the individual play through the left corner and defined the 1-0 perfect.
Bukayo Saka, after receiving from White at the limit of the qualification, settled everything defining with a beautiful left foot seconds from the break.
The 2-0 left everything ready for Arsenal, much more so when Granit Xhaka scored again in this great individual moment to consummate a win. The Swiss received a huge pass from Trossard, key in his arrival, to define very well for Whitworth.
Palace, now without Veira on the bench and with an interim, discounted through Jeffrey Schlupp. However, Arsenal showed once again that they can no longer be intimidated, that a stumble is not a fall since goals against are fought with goals in favor.
That is why Saka, after receiving in the center of the attack, consummated his double with a great left foot that left everything sentenced.
4 to 1 Gunner, 8 points ahead of Manchester City. Arsenal does not get dizzy in the way of his dream.
