Crystal Palace were defeated 5-1 at home to Arsenal.

Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus continued from where he left off from his midweek Carabao Cup hat-trick against Palace.

The Brazil striker struck in the sixth minute with a finish past Dean Henderson at the near post.

Palace equalised just five minutes later when Ismaila Sarr sent a curler into the bottom corner from the edge of the area.

In the 14th minute, Arsenal retook the lead when the Eagles defence did not properly clear a corner and Thomas Partey fed Jesus to blast home.

Arsenal got a third goal in the 38th minute through Kai Havertz who tapped in after Jesus' header came off the post.

Gabriel Martinelli made it 4-1 on the hour mark, before Declan Rice completed the rout for a fifth with six minutes to go.
