Arteta’s Gunners Set a Scoring Record While Solidifying Third Place in the Premier League
Arsenal delivered a dominant performance at Selhurst Park, dismantling Crystal Palace 5-1 in a game that highlighted their attacking prowess. The Gunners’ victory marked a historic moment, making them the first team in English top-flight history to score five or more goals in six different away games within a calendar year.
Gabriel Jesus continued his sensational form, netting twice, while Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and Declan Rice added to the tally. The win sees Arsenal move up to third in the Premier League standings, extending their unbeaten streak to ten matches ahead of their final fixture of the year against Ipswich Town.
The victory also underlines Arsenal’s dominance in London derbies, going unbeaten in such matchups throughout the calendar year—a feat not achieved since Chelsea’s record in 2005.
On social media, fans heaped praise on Mikel Arteta’s side. One supporter remarked, “Not bad for a team that can’t attack,” while others lauded the team’s evolution under Arteta’s management.
Speaking after the match, Arteta reflected on Arsenal’s growing title ambitions. “We certainly want it [the title], but we have to show it for 10 months,” he said. Despite injuries challenging the squad, he praised the players’ resilience and focus. “We’ve done the job, and we’re in a really good run,” Arteta added, promising continued effort in the pursuit of success.
The Gunners now look forward to their year-end match against Ipswich, brimming with confidence and a desire to maintain their momentum into 2024.
