Is so good to see arsenal back to their winning ways, we hope they maintain the tempo because at this stage of the competition, inconsistency will cost them a lot. Arsenal really tried to mystified crystal palace, 5-0 is definitely a scoreline crystal palace won't forget in a long run. However I feel arsenal players understood the times and what's required from them, they controlled the entire midfield and where consistent with their attacks. the two goals they scored that first half also gave them some leverage to continue the dominance and score more goals during the second half.
A pretty good win but actually in this case I think this is not a guarantee of a good start even though in this match they are very good in terms of performance but that does not mean they are back on track just because of 1 win in this match but this is a very good step for Arsenal.
Currently, the situation is very favorable for Arsenal but they have to make a breakthrough even more because after all this is the first step in the middle of the season and the results of a big win in this match should not overawe them.
Now with this result they shifted Aston Villa in third place but indeed Manchester City and Liverpool still have 1 match left which makes the position in the top 2 still very difficult to secure.
I quite agree with you but we are just hopeful that they are back to winning ways, because a lot has been said concerning their inconsistency, Manchester city and Liverpool are a different kettle of fish all together, because for arsenal to get through Manchester city and all the way to the top wouldn't be an easy task. Arsenal just needs to put their together, before they will start talking about getting to tge top of the table.
