"A massive win. We knew the difficulty of it. Big credit to Crystal Palace for the way they set up. They made it really difficult for us. We found a way to score against a team really well organised."
"We didn't score a second goal and when you don't do that you are in danger. They [Palace] are a super difficult side. We have restricted them to very little."
"The technique is unbelievable. We needed something [special] against a team so well organised."
Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 at the Emirates thanks to Eberechi Eze's strike six minutes before half-time from Gabriel's knockdown off a set-piece. The victory moved Arsenal four points clear at the top despite an otherwise patchy, dour display. Defensive organisation limited Palace to one shot on target and kept the visitors largely contained. Mikel Arteta praised Eze's technique and cautioned that the squad must improve and manage injuries to William Saliba and Declan Rice ahead of an EFL Cup tie with Brighton. Oliver Glasner expressed mixed frustration at the result but pride in Palace's overall performance.
