Arsenal delivered a commanding performance at Selhurst Park, securing a 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace. Gabriel Jesus continued his impressive form, scoring twice in the opening 15 minutes, bringing his tally to five goals in two games.
The match began with Jesus capitalizing on a defensive lapse to open the scoring in the 6th minute. Although Ismaila Sarr equalized for Palace shortly after, Jesus restored Arsenal's lead with a second goal in the 14th minute. Kai Havertz extended the advantage by converting a rebound off the post in the 37th minute. In the second half, Gabriel Martinelli added a fourth goal, and Declan Rice completed the scoring with a precise finish from the edge of the box.
Despite the emphatic win, Arsenal faced a setback as Bukayo Saka was forced to leave the field in the first half due to a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old winger, who was making his 250th appearance for the club, will undergo further assessment to determine the severity of the injury.
This victory propels Arsenal to third place in the Premier League standings with 33 points, narrowing the gap to leaders Liverpool to three points. Crystal Palace remains in 15th position.
