Arsenal secured a crucial victory by thrashing Crystal Palace 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the early Premier League match on Saturday.

At the beginning of the match, Arsenal tried to dominate but appeared anxious and uncertain due to their recent struggles scoring goals. They finally managed to score through a set piece when Gabriel rose the highest at the back post and headed the ball into the net. Their second goal also came from a set piece - this time Bukayo Saka took the corner and again Gabriel won the header, but this time the ball ricocheted off Dean Henderson and went into the net as an own goal.

During the first half, the Gunners scored two goals and gained more confidence. Leandro Trossard ended his run of not scoring with a great shot that finished off a counter attack. Later on, Gabriel Martinelli entered the game and scored two goals in the final moments before time ran out, making the victory even more sweet.

"Arsenal's Form Blip, Hodgson Feels Pressure"

At first, it seemed like a pleasant narrative of Mikel Arteta's team picking up momentum again by reflecting on the past. With ex-manager George Graham in attendance, Arsenal scored twice using a tactic that had helped the Scottish coach secure two league titles during his time at the club. This strategy proved to be the turning point for Arteta's squad after a lukewarm month, leading to a 2-0 victory and then a significant 5-0 triumph. For Hodgson, the situation turned out to be dire and he may be teetering on the edge as Palace is now in danger of entering a battle to avoid relegation.

Their fans who are known to be loud and enthusiastic made it apparent that they are worried about significant concerns. This was evident when they carried placards with statements such as "squandered abilities in and out of the field, poor decisions taking us in the wrong direction". The supporters' actions come at a time when there are news reports about mounting tension within the team's management, as well as an article by the Independent newspaper stating that John Textor is starting to sell his ownership stake.

Arteta's Response To The Game: Post-Match

The coach of Arsenal expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance on Match of the Day. He said he was happy with the fact that they didn't concede any goals and managed to score five. They won the game and the overall performance was good.

After we departed from the stadium in Liverpool, I felt extremely positive. Although we put in a great performance, we unfortunately did not achieve the desired outcome.

Today, we were able to perform better in the opponent's area compared to the previous games. Although we had some good moments in the past few games, today's focus was on scoring goals and we were able to do it more efficiently.

Set plays play a significant role for our team, particularly when we face opponents who are skilled at defending. Employing this strategy increases our chances of securing victories. Last season, one key factor in our success was having numerous players with 10 or more goals. It's a feat we must strive for again this season.

We identified certain parts of the game that we knew we could take advantage of very effectively. The substitutes performed excellently and made a significant difference. The entirety of the team was highly concentrated.

We aim to approach the second half of the season with a strong desire to succeed and a determination to give it our all.

"I had hoped to play after three days, but the situation stays the same! Our focus remains on training and we need to work harder to enhance as a unit."
