Made one bad pass in the first half, but made some important saves at key moments to thwart Palace

Got a yellow for taking too long on a throw in but otherwise a really solid performance on the right

Really struggled with Mateta in the opening 20-25 mins, and made a big mistake which could have led to another Palace equaliser. Settled down after that though

Like his mate, not quite at his best level today, but almost scored another goal with a header that crashed off the bar, and played a great pass which helped bring about the fourth goal

An impressive display from the 18 year old, really good on the ball, showed real strength at times

Made more interceptions than any Arsenal player, perhaps a bit culpable on their goal but made up for it with an assist for Jesus's second

Not as eye catching as his second half appearance on Wednesday, but kept us ticking

Solid enough game, smart movement and anticipation for the easiest goal he'll score all season

I thought he did really well on the right hand side after Saka went off, and let's hope that's a very useful goal for him

Not on long enough to rate really but involved in the first goal – let's hope it's nothing serious after he felt his hamstring after making a cross

A great example of what confidence can do for a player - two very good finishes, probably should have had another hat-trick!

Came on for Saka, did ok, a bit ragged on the ball at times

A goal and an assist and his introduction helped us add some control to proceedings too

Gets an assist to his name for the pass to Rice, had some nice moments, was on the end of a terrible challenge so hopefully it's not serious
