Arsenal earned themselves a much needed win with a 5-0 hammering of Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium in Saturday’s early Premier League kick off.

From the start the Gunners looked to take control but seemed nervous and tentative after their recent troubles in front of goal. The breakthrough came from a set piece, Gabriel rising highest at the back post to nod Arsenal ahead. The second goal came in a similar fashion. Bukayo Saka swung in another corner, Gabriel won the header but this time sent the ball into Dean Henderson for an own goal.

The Gunners went into the break two goals to the good and grew in confidence. Leandro Trossard ended his goal drought with a fine finish to complete a counter attack before Gabriel Martinelli came off the bench to score two goals late in stoppage time to put the icing on the cake.

Palace have been outplayed so far at the Emirates. Can Roy Hodgson mastermind a turnaround in the second half or will the Gunners run away with the game?

Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace

43 mins: Arsenal have scored from two fantastic set pieces so Roy Hodgson will feel a little hard donw by. Palace have been decent at defending from open play.

Jefferson Lerma takes a knock to the neck and needs a bit of treatment here.

Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace

40 mins: Arsenal look so dangerous with set pieces around the penalty area. A dainty free kick is flicked over to Zinchenko who, at first, looks to keep the attack going with a cross.

Clyne blocks it and Zinchenko decides to shoot but fizzes his effort over the top.

GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace (Gabriel, 37’)⚽️

37 mins: There it is!

It’s another set piece which sees Bukayo Saka swing a corner into the box. He finds Gabriel at the far post who pings a header back across the face of goal.

It hits Dean Henderson in the back and bounces across the line. Arsenal will be over the moon now.

Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace

36 mins: Odegaard lifts a free kick over to the right side of the penalty area with Gabriel the target. Tyrick Mitchell beats him to the ball in the air and nods it clear.

Those two Crystal Palace chances will give the visitors a bit of hope that they’re still in this game. Arsenal will know they need a second goal to be comfortable.
