Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace: Eze Sinks Former Club
Arsenal edged out Crystal Palace thanks to Eberechi Eze, who scored the only goal in a surprisingly subdued match at the Emirates.
Eze's first-half strike, coming on his first appearance against his former club, proved the difference as Mikel Arteta's side opened up a four-point gap at the top of the Premier League.
Arsenal have the lead and it simply had to be Eberechi Eze!
Arsenal improved as the match went on, with Palace unable to muster much of an attacking threat in a game devoid of goalmouth incident, resulting in four games without a win for Palace in all competitions.
The first half was a non-event, with the xG of 0.2 being the lowest of any Premier League match so far this season, and Palace keeping Arsenal at arm's length with relative ease.
