Premier League
Arsenal have not dropped a stitch against city rivals Crystal Palace. The number 1 in the Premier League won 4-1 for their own fans. Leandro Trossard was in the base and was good for an assist. On the other side, Sambi Lokonga was not allowed to play against his parent club.
Arsenal enters the international break with a comfortable 8-point lead. The match against Crystal Palace was a boost for the team after the European elimination. The Premier League leader was firmly in control.
Martinelli and Saka secured a reassuring double lead at half time. Leandro Trossard also showed up after the break. He cleverly stuck a ball in between and Xhaka finally pushed the leather in.
Schlupp provided a little bit of suspense just after the hour mark. He ended the long goal drought at Palace: 3-1.
But Saka cleared all doubts with his second of the evening. Arsenal remain firmly in the lead. Crystal Palace, who had fired trainer Viera earlier this week, remains in 12th place. But the gap with the relegation places is small.
