Crystal Palace 1-5 Arsenal- 3 takeaways as Jesus continues impressive rise

**Arsenal clicked through the gears against Crystal Palace en route to a 5-1 demolition at Selhurst Park with Gabriel Jesus continuing his form, but a Bukayo Saka injury seriously dampens the positive mood.**

Arsenal continued its impressive roll against Crystal Palace, hammering five past the Eagles at Selhurst Park.

Gabriel Jesus scored a brace and on another day, could have had four, while Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice got in on the act as the Gunners kept the feel-good vibes going from midweek.

But there was a big sour note, with the hamstring injury to Bukayo Saka that takes a lot of the shine off what was an otherwise stellar win.

Here are three takeaways from Arsenal's 5-1 win over Palace.

Jesus continues impressive form

-------------------------------

Amazing what a little confidence does, isn't it?

Prior to midweek, Jesus struggled to buy a goal; now he has five in two outings, and against Palace; it wasn't just his goal-scoring that was impressive; it was his all-round game.

The tenacity, quick feet, and willingness to cover every blade of grass made Jesus look like the "old Jesus" the Gunners initially signed from Manchester City.

In this form, he's a game-changer in the title race.
