In Saturday's Premier League rivalry, Arsenal destroyed London rivals Crystal Palace 5-1, writing a new chapter in English football history. With a 3-2 victory led by Gabriel Jesus, the Gunners advanced to the last four of the EFL Cup after defeating Oliver Glasner's team in the quarterfinals in the midweek. The resurgent Brazilian continued where he left off after scoring a hat-trick in midweek, drawing the initial goal in the sixth minute before Ismaila Sarr's fast-paced equalizer. But Sarr's brilliant goal would not spark a Palace comeback, as Jesus nearly immediately put Arsenal ahead again before Kai Havertz handed the visitors a sizable advantage.
Then, when the Brazilian fumbled his lines, Gabriel Martinelli was there to finish, and Declan Rice completed a five-star performance from the Gunners. The first English top-flight team to do that in a single calendar year is Arsenal, who have already scored at least five goals in six different away games in 2024.
