Arsenal vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Gunners net five at Emirates Stadium

34 mins: Save! Jefferson Lerma smokes a great effort from outside the box after Arsenal mess up trying to play out from the back.

The strike is brilliant and forces David Raya to leap across to his right where he manages to palm the ball wide of the post!

32 mins: Eze gets on the ball, dances around a couple of Arsenal defenders then wins a free kick just outside the penalty area. This is a set piece in shooting range for Crystal Palace.

Eze himself lines up the shot, he tries to whip is over the wall but hits the defender. Nathanial Clyne drills the rebound low into the box where Mateta attempts to control the ball.

He fumbles it and Raya manages to smother the danger for Arsenal.

29 mins: Declan Rice almost feeds Bukayo Saka into space on the right wing but the diagonal pass is overhit and the ball skids through to Dean Henderson before Saka can recover it.

Arsenal will be pleased with their performance so far but Mikel Arteta will want them to step it up and add another couple of goals to the tally.

26 mins: David Raya is given the ball and he sends it across the box to Oleksandr Zinchenko. That’s the most involvement the Arsenal goalkeeper has had in this match so far.

Crystal Palace need to get the ball higher up the pitch Eze and Mateta have been starved of possession so far.

23 mins: Kai Havertz makes a nifty run into the box as the ball is chipped across to him from the left wing. There’s a slight nudge in his back from Joachim Andersen and Havertz goes to ground catching the ball in his arms on the way down.

The referee decides there’s not enough contact to warrant a penalty so awards a free kick to Palace for a Havertz handball.

20 mins: Gabriel is getting stuck in to a couple of battles as he tries to keep Arsenal in possession high up the pitch. He takes on Richards first but doesn’t win a free kick when going to ground.

His next tussle is with Jeffrey Schlupp who yanks the Arsenal man back and gives away a foul.

17 mins: There’s more of a zip and confidence about Arsenal now. Things always seem different when a team takes the lead. The Gunners are working the ball around fluidly and pressing high up the pitch.

14 mins: Crystal Palace may need to rethink their gameplan now that they’ve gone behind. Their formation of five at the back is inviting pressure and Arsenal are gaining confidence.

Palace need to respond quickly and to do so they need to force Arsenal further down the pitch.

Close! Bukayo Saka whips another corner into the box. The initial clearance strikes Jefferson Lerma and sends the ball back towards goal.

Dean Henderson can’t get across and the ball hits the crossbar before bouncing out of play.

11 mins: Roy Hodgson has set up the Eagles to defend in numbers which means Arsenal are going to get a ton of possession inside the final third.

Nathanial Clyne blocks a cross out for a corner which is whipped straight into the penalty area. Gabriel leaps above Chris Richards to win the ball and powers a header into the bottom corner!

9 mins: Close! It’s a half chance for Gabriel Jesus.

There’s a slight scramble as Odegaard gets into the box. Palace throw men at him to defend the ball but it comes loose and the Brazilian forward manages to touch it down before hooking a snatched shot over the top of the crossbar.

Positive signs for Arsenal though.
