Comments:

League position: 6th Arsenal were now unbeaten in their last 19 Premier League home games that had kicked-off at 3.00pm on a Saturday (won 17) since losing to Aston Villa on the opening day of the 2013-14 season. Alexandre Lacazette's goal was the 500th scored by French players for the Gunners in the Premier League (excluding own goals). On only one previous occasion in the history of the competition had a team taken a four-goal lead earlier in a Premier League game (also by Arsenal at Manchester City on 22 February 2003 after 18 minutes).

Comments:

League position: 13th Crystal Palace had now lost two of their last 13 Premier League games, with both defeats by Arsenal (won five). The Eagles failed in their attempt to win their opening three league games of a year for the first time since 2002. They also failed in their attempt to equal their club record of six consecutive away games without defeat in the top division.
