Player ratings: Arsenal 5-0 Crystal Palace

Arsenal returned to action on Saturday with a thumping 5-0 win over struggling Crystal Palace.

The Gunners wasted no time, with Gabriel nodding them into the lead early on. He / an own goal doubled the advantage and when Leandro Trossard scored the third, the points were secure. Gabriel Martinelli came off the bench to score two more and double his tally for the season.

Arsenal have bigger tests to come, but it was a much needed convincing victory from the Gunners to put them back on track.
