Arsenal vs Crystal Palace highlights: Gabriel, Trossard and Martinelli goals send Gunners third
football.london’s live coverage of Arsenal vs Crystal Palace in the Premier League from the Emirates Stadium as Mikel Arteta looks to get back to winning ways
Hello and welcome to football.london’s live blog covering Arsenal’s Premier League match with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners get back underway following a spell away from the UK in Dubai where Mikel Arteta’s team undertook some warm weather training.
Gabriel Magalhaes was at the double, at least he thought he was until his second goal was deemed to have been an own goal by Dean Henderson. Leandro Trossard made it three after a brilliant counterattack was started by David Raya and Gabriel Jesus slipped in the Belgian.
Emile Smith Rowe was given a chance to play. Mikel Arteta making an early substitution for Kai Havertz.
Gabriel Martinelli scored twice late on to make it five on the day. Arsenal move up to third in the league in what was a much-needed battering of an opponent.
Tom Canton and Kaya Kaynak will be bringing all the build-up and analysis from the Emirates Stadium. Updates to follow.

Player ratings
Gabi cubed are the stars today! Hardly ever a mention for Magalhaes so have to give him his flowers. Thought Jesus was impressive, while Martinelli’s two late finishes looked like he had his confidence back.
