Arsenal maintained their position at the summit of the Premier League with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
A 39th-minute strike from new signing Eberechi Eze proved to be the difference in a tightly contested London derby, as the Gunners secured another crucial three points in their title charge.
Mikel Arteta’s men dominated possession for much of the encounter but found it difficult to break down a well-organized Palace side.
Eze, who joined the North London club during the summer transfer window, made the decisive impact with a composed finish after a clever build-up play.
