Crystal Palace blew Arsenal away with a comprehensive 3-0 Premier League victory at Selhurst Park to dent the visitors’ top-four hopes and continue their own momentum under boss Patrick Vieira.

Results over the weekend had seen the Gunners leapfrogged by rivals Tottenham in the race for Champions League qualification and they were unable to respond on a night to forget for Mikel Arteta’s men.

Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew put the Eagles in control after 24 minutes and Wilfried Zaha’s second-half penalty added deserved gloss to the score for the hosts, who extended their unbeaten run to seven matches in all competitions and moved up to ninth in the table.

84 mins: SO CLOSE! That’s the closest Arsenal have come all night and it would have been a stunner!

Nketiah finds a couple of yards of space on the edge of the area. He looks to bend one into the top corner, only for the ball to crash back off the bar!

78 mins: It’s been a horrible night for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta looks a confused man on that touchline. After six league wins in seven games, this has come out of the blue after the international break.

Xhaka has a tug of a shirt and gets his customary yellow card.

Crystal Palace 3-0 Arsenal

76 mins: It really was very careless from Odegaard. Partey initially gave the ball away as he prepared to come off due to an injury. Zaha sprinted clear and, with three Arsenal shirts around him, Odegaard stuck out a foot to trip Zaha as he tried to turn back away from the goal.

Partey has now been replaced by Lokonga for Arsenal. Palace have also made a change as Edouard comes on for Ayew.
