Crystal Palace Player Ratings: Arsenal (A)

Crystal Palace capitalised on a shocking defensive display from Arsenal on Sunday afternoon to win 3-2 in a thrilling game at the Emirates and mathematically ensure their Premier League status for another season.

Christian Benteke scored his first goal in nearly a year to give Roy Hodgson’s side the lead early on, after he was left unmarked from a Palace free kick.

Mesut Ozil equalised two minutes into the second half as Arsenal came out flying following the break, but poor defending from Shkodran Mustafi allowed Wilfried Zaha to restore Palace’s lead on the hour mark.

James McArthur added a third nine minutes later as the Gunners failed to deal with another set piece, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled one back for Unai Emery’s side.

Palace held on for victory however, and here’s how we rated Palace’s performance against Arsenal.
