+1' A late chance for Palace. A long ball goes over the head of Holding and Zaha is running towards goal. Kiwior does well to hold him up and when Ayew eventually shoots from a Zaha backheel, the ball is smothered.
FULL TIME. Arsenal win 4-1 after a fine display overall. They made it 3-0 after 55 minutes before the Gunners took their foot off the pedal somewhat. The final 35 minutes ended 1-1 and Palace arguably edged it but it was too little, too late. Thanks for joining us as Mikel Arteta's side go eight points clear. FT: Arsenal 4-1 Crystal Palace.
