Crystal Palace continued their great form with a 3-0 win over Arsenal at Selhurst Park, moving them into the top half of the Premier League table.

Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled a close-range header to put the home side ahead before Jordan Ayew doubled their lead with a superb left-foot finish.

With 16 minutes remaining, Wilfried Zaha put the game beyond doubt by winning and scoring a penalty for Patrick Vieira’s side, inflicting a crushing loss on the Gunners and their aspirations of getting into the top four.

The strength of Palace’s approach completely blew the Gunners away.

The Mikel Arteta team was not allowed to get into a rhythm, which damaged their composure, as the Eagles took advantage of their nervousness to win tonight.

After the memorable victory over the club with whom he won three Premier League titles during an outstanding stint with Arsenal, Patrick Vieira will undoubtedly be ecstatic.

Palace have been in terrific form recently and after humiliating his ex-club, the former Arsenal captain will now be hoping to lead his side to greater heights.

VIEIRA’S RED ’N' BLUE ARMY ❤️?

The Eagles have won their past seven games in all competitions, including a 4-0 thrashing of Everton in the FA Cup quarter-finals in their last outing.

Palace has moved up to ninth place in the table after tonight’s triumph.
