Arsenal back on track with win at Crystal Palace

Alexis, right celebrates goal at Crystal Palace

Arsenal are back on track in the race for Barclay Premiership diadem, beating Crystal Palace, 2-1

The gunners scored first, with a delicious strike from Olivier Giroud, the Frenchman volleying Mesut Ozil’s cross into the bottom corner.

Palace could have been out of the game by the half-hour mark but they levelled against the run of play through Joel Ward’s fine effort, and Connor Wickham hit the post shortly after the restart.

But #Arsenal restored their advantage when Damien Delaney diverted Alexis’ header past his own goalkeeper.

Well, a goal is a goal. It was all #Arsenal needed after last weekend’s false start against West Ham United.
