Palace have turned things around, today wasn't their best performance but they have come up against a very good Arsenal side.
It's about learning from this game, they were not good enough today and they didn't take their chances.

Here's how the table looks after today's results.
Chelsea are at Everton tomorrow while leaders Liverpool are at Tottenham.

As an Arsenal fan I think 5-1 is a bit unfair on Palace but I'm not complaining, perfect time for a good away performance

With the week Gabriel Jesus has had, he has to be their number nine for the next few games.

What a result. To go to Crystal Palace and score five goals and win it is a huge result.
Now it's over to Liverpool and Chelsea.

It's a case that Liverpool have their noses in front, but I have been impressed with the way Chelsea have played this season.
Arsenal are very much in the title race - I know City have been poor, but you wonder - are they really out of it?

All over and Arsenal make it back-to-back wins over Crystal Palace.

Dan Smeeeth: Sam absolutely nails it. For years Arsenal were criticised for being "soft" and "too naive". Now they've got a bit of backbone and will happily stretch the rules, they're still criticised for it? Can't win!
Crystal Palace 1-5 Arsenal
Eddie Nketiah has been well marshalled by the Arsenal defence. He's barely had a touch of the ball since coming on against his former side and is crowded out by defenders now as he tries to get to a ball into the box.

Matty AFC: We've brought Trossard, Rice, Calafiori, Merino and Nwaneri off the bench today. That's incredible squad depth.

On Gabriel Jesus' form...
It's a bit out of nowhere, but looking over his career there's no reason why we should be surprised as he's had an unbelievable career.

Chelsea have to go to Everton who frustrated us and have new owners. Liverpool go to Tottenham where they lost last season. Could be a very good weekend for Arsenal.

The only saving grace about being a City fan is that Arsenal will finally finish above us and still won't win the league.
Nick, Manchester
Can you be so sure, Nick? They have a striker in form now and are the best side in the Premier League from set pieces...
Crystal Palace 1-5 Arsenal
Arsenal fans are enjoying this away day outing, cheering every pass their side makes now.
Crystal Palace, understandably, are out of energy after putting so much into the first half. They are largely chasing shadows now.

Mark 18.58. Very good. Loving the Xmas references.

Jamie Carragher
Former Liverpool defender on Sky Sports
I was calling for Rice to come on at half-time for Arsenal to solidify them and he has come off the bench and got an assist and a goal.
5-1 away from home at any ground is a good result but certainly against this Crystal Palace team and the run they are on.

Arsenal need a striker? Nah Jesus has saved us!
Jon, Bishop’s Stortford
Crystal Palace 1-4 Arsenal
No back-to-back hat-tricks for Gabriel Jesus as he and Jurrien Timber head off. Mikel Merino and Ethan Nwaneri replace them.

Exceptional finish from Declan Rice.
Dean Henderson makes a valid attempt, he gets fingertips on it but there is too much pace on it.
It would have been a world-class save if Henderson saved it.

Having lost five of their first eight Premier League games this season (D3), Crystal Palace have now lost just one of their last eight (W3 D4), and are unbeaten in their last five (W2 D3). The Eagles are looking for back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since a run of three in May.
