The Gunners scored four goals inside 25 minutes.
It appears that despite rumours Alexis Sanchez said his goodbyes last night, his leaving failed to make a dint in Arsenal’s morale ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace.
Arsène Wenger’s team were at their destructive best today at the Emirates, with Monreal, Iwobi , Koscielny and Lacazette all scoring inside the first half.
Although it looks like the North London club could now replace their star winger with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, naturally everyone was making the same joke about their display ahead of Sanchez’s imminent departure.

Sanchez was clearly holding Arsenal back for the last few years

Clearly Alexis Sanchez is a GREAT locker room guy. Demonstrably so, seeing as Arsenal are up 4-0 on Palace after his departure. 🤣
