Gabriel Jesus Shines as Arsenal Thrash Crystal Palace, but Bukayo Saka Injury Raises Concerns

Arsenal's dominant 5-1 victory sees Gabriel Jesus continue his scoring resurgence, while Bukayo Saka's early exit with a hamstring injury casts a shadow over the win.

Gabriel Jesus scored twice, bringing his total to five goals in two matches against Crystal Palace, marking a significant return to form after a challenging year.
Arsenal's 5-1 victory featured additional goals from Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and Declan Rice, who also provided an assist after coming off the bench.
Bukayo Saka, playing his 250th game for Arsenal at just 23 years old, was forced off in the first half with a suspected hamstring injury, raising concerns about his availability during a critical period of the season.
Despite the dominant scoreline, Arsenal’s defensive performance was shaky at times, with Crystal Palace creating several chances that required crucial saves from goalkeeper David Raya.
The win moves Arsenal three points behind league leaders Liverpool, although Arsenal has played two more games, keeping their title hopes alive as they approach the busy holiday schedule.
