Arsenal 5-0 Palace

Crystal Palace were thrashed 5-0 away to Arsenal.

The Eagles have now won just one of their last 11 Premier League matches and are in relegation danger.

Arsenal started the rout in the 11th minute with Gabriel heading home an inswinging corner.

They made it 2-0 in the 37th minute from another flag kick with Gabriel's effort marked down as a Dean Henderson own goal.

Leandro Trossard scored Arsenal's third just before the hour mark after being sent one-on-one with Henderson to score.

Gabriel Martinelli compounded Palace's misery with two goals in stoppage time to make it five.

The away support held up a banner which read: "Wasted potential on and off the pitch, weak decisions taking us backwards."
