Crystal Palace vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Gunners run riot with five goals

27 mins: That knock to Saka doesn’t seem massively serious but he knew immediately that he needed to come off.

A long ball from Crystal Palace is recovered by Sarr who then darts to the right and blazes a shot at goal. Gabriel stops it with his head and needs a breather before playing on.

24 mins: Arsenal have the early lead but they’ve taken a blow. Bukayo Saka went down injured and Mikel Arteta is taking no chances with him.

Hw whips the winger off straight away and brings on Leandro Trossard.

21 mins: Chance!

Palace should be level. Arsenal’s defence falls apart and Sarr nicks the ball away from Saliba on the edge of his own box. He lays it across to Mateta who then shoots but gets charged down by Raya.

What a save. What a moment.

18 mins: Hughes and Mateta combine to get the ball up the pitch before an offload comes to Kamada. He shoots from range and smokes the effor thigh and wide.

David Raya is warned about delaying the restart even though there’s only 18 minutes played in the game.

Arsenal score from a corner again!

Gabriel Martinelli whips the set piece into the middle where the ball drops to Thomas Partey after a tussle in the air. Partey lays it off to Gabriel Jesus who places a swerving sige-footed effort into the gap at the near post!

Wonderful finish.

Wow!

Crystal Palace are level thanks to a great finish.

The hosts work the ball over to the left wing quickly before it’s sent into the feet of Ismaila Sarr.

William Saliba drops off the attacker who carries the ball into the box and curls a fine effort around the defender, then the goalkeeper and lands the ball in the far bottom corner.

9 mins: Martin Odegaard loses possession to Daichi Kamada who pokes it up the pitch to Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Crystal Palace striker tries to take the ball around Thomas Partey and gets brought down.

Will Hughes delivers the resultant free kick which picks out Maxence Lacroix who sends his effort wide.

Arsenal take the lead!

It’s that man again, Gabriel Jesus, who netted three times against Palace in the week. Bukayo Saka is fed the ball on the right wing. He dances away from the nearest defender and floats in a cross.

Gabriel leaps to challenge for the ball and keeps it alive before it bobbles into the path of Jesus who turns it home close to the back post!

3 mins: Myles Lewis-Skelly has pushed up and tucked into the midfield leaving Arsenal with a back-three win in possession. Mikel Arteta obviously wants to overload the midfield and try to control play.

Arsenal get the ball rolling at Selhurst Park and will look to impose themselves on Palace early on. The ball comes back to David Raya who punts it down the left side where Chris Richards and Gabriel Martinelli tussle for control of the ball.

Richards wins and sends it down the line.
