Jesus Gabil Jethys repeats his miracle as Arsenal hold off Crystal Palace! After a 3-2 comeback win in the EFL Cup in midweek, Arsenal solidified their title hopes with another 5-1 win away to Crystal Palace in the Premier League London derby in the early hours of Sunday (22). The Jesus-acclaimed Jesees scored twice and slotted through the Crystal Palace goal five times in three days as Arsenal remained unbeaten in ten matches to be crowned London's supreme champions!
Jetsis broke the Crystal Palace defense three times in a row in the midfield. He continued his excellent form in this game. It took only six minutes to break the deadlock and although Crystal Palace equalized five minutes later with a pinpoint shot from Ismail Salah, Jesus showed strength again three minutes later. He scored Crystal Palace's fifth goal in two consecutive games in a strong display when he met Thomas Bertrand's cross from a corner.
Arsenal scored on 38 minutes from Jesees before Xaviers headed in a brace to set up the pick-up. In the second half, Gabriel Martinelli and Dean Rice each scored to seal a 5-1 win.Opta data suggests that Arsenal became the first team in English top-flight history to score five or more goals at least six times a year, which certainly dispelled any doubts about its lack of firepower.
It is worth mentioning that Arsenal achieved 8 wins and 2 losses in the London derby of the 2024 Premier League, undefeated throughout the year, for the first time since Chelsea in 2005. The Adidas leader said after the match: a great achievement of historic proportions, but we still need to turn this record into a championship. It's not easy to play the same opponent twice in three consecutive days, but we performed steadily and satisfactorily.
