Arsenal’s bid to return to the Premier League’s higher reaches is off to a flying start in Saturday’s derby with Crystal Palace.
Mikel Arteta’s side took an early first-half lead courtesy of Gabriel Magalhães rising to power Declan Rice’s corner into Dean Henderson’s net.
Gabriel helped double the hosts’ tally later in the first half with a near-identical move by meeting Buyako Saka’s cross to the far post for a Henderson own goal.
It means that Gunners rank head and shoulders above their top-flight peers with a 10th headed goal this season – more than any other team.

Rice and Saka’s respectively deliveries extended the hosts’ equally unparalleled haul goals derived from corners during the current campaign to ten.
They were also Arsenal’s 12th and 13th set-piece goals of the league season.
Clearly aiming high pays off!
