Martinelli made his way through the air after a corner kick, when the ball was also prepared for him by the head of the summer signing from Manchester City Zinchenko. Coach Mikel Arteta scored his 50th victory on Arsenal’s bench. He needed 98 competitive matches for that, only club legend Arsén Wenger (94 matches) managed to reach this goal faster.
On the contrary, home coach Patrick Vieira lost for the first time to his former club, where he spent the most successful years of his playing career between 1996 and 2005. Last season Crystal Palace drew 2-2 away with their city rivals and won 3-0 at home.
