Eberechi Eze showed his true colours during the celebrations of his first Arsenal goal in Premier League action up against former club Crystal Palace. The England international fired in a loose ball from a set-piece just before half-time to put the Gunners in front on Sunday afternoon.

Arsenal headed into the weekend top of the Premier League table with champions Liverpool failing to close the gap on Saturday evening when they were beaten by Brentford.

Arne Slot's side looked to be back on track after four consecutive defeats upon battering Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League earlier this week, but losing at the Gtech Community Stadium showed problems are still present.

Following their fourth successive defeat, the Gunners needed to capitalise and after a nervy opening 35 minutes without any shots at goal, Eze did exactly that.

After Gabriel Magalhaes competed for a Declan Rice free-kick with Maxence Lacroix, Eze fired in a half-volley superbly under pressure from Adam Wharton
