At the Emirates stadium on Sunday afternoon, the Gunners defeated their London rival easily, 4-1.
For his team, which is in the driver's seat for the Premier League championship this year, the 21-year-old delivered another man of the match performance.
Rob Holding started at center defense against Crystal Palace on Sunday since the Gunners were without either William Saliba or Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Gabriel Martinelli received a pass from Bukayo Saka shortly before halftime, moved the ball from right to left, and then hammered the goal to give Arsenal the lead.
Before halftime, Saka dribbled past the Palace defense and curled the ball into the back of the goal to increase the Gunners' advantage.
The English winger became the first player in the league this season to achieve double digits for both goals and assists, increasing his total number of Premier League goal involvements for the season to 21.
Saka accidentally imitated the legendary Frenchman, Thierry Henry style, during his goal celebration by grabbing the corner flag in the same way after putting his name to the scoresheet.
Saka has done this before throughout the current season; only a few weeks ago, he did it when celebrating against Aston Villa.
