Arsenal revitalized their pursuit of the Premier League title with an impressive 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace, marking a return to winning form after a challenging run.
Centre-back Gabriel played a pivotal role, securing the opener with a powerful header and contributing to an own goal by Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Leandro Trossard extended the lead to 3-0 at the hour mark, while substitute Gabriel Martinelli netted twice in stoppage time.
This win brings Mikel Arteta’s team level with Manchester City and Aston Villa, trailing leaders Liverpool by two points.
The victory follows a period of one win in seven games for Arsenal, with a mid-season break in Dubai seemingly reinvigorating the squad.
Arsenal’s prowess in set pieces was evident, with Gabriel’s contributions showcasing their effectiveness.
The defeat leaves struggling Palace, with just one win in 12 games, precariously positioned above the relegation zone, adding pressure on manager Roy Hodgson.
