Crystal Palace has lost already, with the looks of things and Arsenal is in more control of the pace and possession. I like the fact Trossad could score to seal the win, although with few minutes to go, I doubt Crystal palace could do much.
If they have more chances to add up to the goal margin, they should because they need more goal difference to finish strong incase there is tie in point.
Injury time, and it's 3-0, Crystal Palace has failed to capitalize on their goal scoring opportunities, allowing the hosts to weaken them with a superb performance; of course, this is the type of match that Arsenal cannot afford to lose because they as well are hoping to enter the race. Crystal Palace lost and failed to score a goal for creating the game GG. They allowed Arsenal to take advantage of them without completely utilizing their power. Arsenal won while also dominating the pitch. This is a straightforward victory for Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
Finally Arsenal can win again after 3 previous matches they could not win. A landslide score of 5-0 could not be avoided by Crystal Palace. Arsenal can create a quick goal before the time has not entered the first 15 minutes. In the 37th minute they can double the position through an own goal created by the opposing player.
In the second half they were more comfortable and managed to create another goal in the 59th minute. I thought the score would not change because entering added time the score was still the same. But Martinelli didn't want to miss out on scoring, and interestingly he scored 2 goals in just 2 minutes.
They should have played like this, because I haven't seen Arsenal like this before. If they can maintain their performance it is not impossible that they will be able to become champions, although it will be difficult to do.
This victory they increased their points collection to 43 points, the same points as Manchester City, but Manchester City still has one match yet to be played.
Arsenal convincingly finished the match against Crystal Palace with a score of 5-0, today additional three points have made Arteta fleet move slightly forward, overtaking Aston Villa in third place in the standings even though they have the same number of points. Now the Gunners are 2 points adrift of Liverpool who are at the top, because the Reds will play tomorrow, and the Gunners points tally is now the same as Man City, yes we know City also still has one match postponed. However, how fierce the competition is for the top four in the EPL standings at the moment, three teams have both collected 43, a small mistake will shift their position because Tottenham is only one match away from them. I think Aston Villa is the team whose position is most threatened, and Ange fleet has a big chance of breaking into the UCL zone sooner or later.
Returning to Arsenal, they are now back on track in the hunt for trophies, beating Crystal Palace by dominating the game, statistically the Gunner is superior in all aspects. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace had to be willing to postpone their mission to break into the top ten, and their ambition to overtake Fulham has now failed. I saw that the match was quite intense, buying and selling attacks, and it must be admitted that Arsenal was lucky to score a quick goal that destroyed the mentality of the Crystal Palace players. Jesus, who was previously doubtful about playing from the first minute, however, I have to say that Arteta really needs a number 9 striker who has been proven.
Next, Arsenal will face Nottingham Forest, a match that I think is one-sided, I mean Arsenal will most likely win. If Liverpool stumble when facing Bournemouth, making City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham lucky, because they can enter again to enliven the competition for trophies. The opportunity for the Gunners to overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings is quite open in the future, the important thing is that they can consistently secure full points, and in week 22 Liverpool will face a tough opponent, namely Chelsea. Usually, even though Chelsea is appearing unstable, Pochettino squad will usually play well when facing each other with fellow elite EPL teams, and I think Arsenal and City will take advantage of this opportunity well.
