Premier League leaders Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the table to four points with victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Former Eagles man Eberechi Ezi scored the only goal of the game against his former team to earn the Gunners a crucial three points.
Mikel Arteta’s side now sit four points clear of second-placed Bournemouth, with reigning champions Liverpool seven points adrift of the leaders in seventh place.
Next up for Arsenal is a game against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup, before they travel to face Burnley in the Premier League.
In the meantime, however, it had emerged that the North London outfit are chasing a young French star.

The 15-year-old striker has been hugely impressive for Montpellier’s youth sides, and his impressive displays have attracted interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
It is claimed that the Gunners are monitoring the young forward with a view to potentially making a move to sign him in the future.
However, the London giants will likely face stiff competition, with La Liga champions Barcelona among the sides believed to be showing interest in the player.
The report suggests that Arsenal have been watching the teenager closely and are now ready to make an attempt to convince him and his representatives that a move to North London is the best option available to him.
Magnan-Pave has also been impressive on the international stage, scoring 12 goals and providing the same number of assists in just 24 games for France Under-17s.
Arsenal boss Arteta has given opportunities to a number of young players in recent seasons, including Max Dowman.
