I thought that crystal palace will give a good fight in the match as the did in meeting with mancity despite that city won them, it was not an easy one for the champions, sure Arsenal deserve that one because the took over the match and maintained till the end, the performance of Arsenal encouraged me, though the gunners has not been consistent lately, but this winning is a good one for them to move a little forward, talking about Arsenal being in 3rd position, they deserve it, arsenal at a point was performing extremely well but all of a sudden the started losing, yea I know that it happens but check man it's anytime they are such position, they don't give up, instead they keep scoring more goals to be at the top, as for now u don't see arsenal the major contender of the league again no matter their performance though that is my personal view.
The situation that Arsenal is currently experiencing means that they are required to continue to put pressure on Crystal Palace to get out of the bad results in the last few matches. The pressure from Arsenal made Crystal Palace unable to get out of the pressure and a goal feast for the visiting team occurred in this match. This victory is very important for Arsenal in order to maintain competition with Liverpool and Manchester City. The quality of Arsenal's goals is starting to improve after in the previous few matches their strikers had difficulty scoring goals.
Performance like this needs to be maintained, Arteta as the leader of this team must make Arsenal always perform optimally to increase their points collection so they can continue to catch up with Liverpool who are still in first place.
