EPL: Arsenal reclaims the top three spots after defeating Crystal Palace 5-1.

At Selhurst Park, Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 5-1 to reclaim their place in the top three of the Premier League.

The Gunners won handily thanks to two goals from Gabriel Jesus in the first 14 minutes, making him the game’s standout player.

Bukayo Saka’s cross from the Brazilian gave Palace the lead in the sixth minute, but Palace soon equalized five minutes later thanks to a curling goal from Ismaila Sarr.

Jesus scored his second goal of the evening in the fourteenth minute, taking advantage of a defensive breakdown to give Arsenal the lead again.

In the 37th minute, Kai Havertz increased the lead to 3-1 before halftime by first responding to a rebound off the post.

Declan Rice scored twice to commemorate his injury comeback as Arsenal maintained their dominance in the second half.

Shortly after entering the game as a replacement, he scored his first goal—a deflected effort in the 58th minute—and completed the victory with a curling effort in the 85th.

Palace is now just four points above the relegation zone and has not won at home in seven weeks as a result of the defeat.

Arsenal will now concentrate on their upcoming matchup with Ipswich in an attempt to maintain their title challenge.
