That’s what happens if you don’t take gilt-edged chances.

Mateta and Sarr both had real opportunities to put Palace back in the game but were unable to capitalise.

And Rice’s first touch after coming on saw give Martinelli the easiest of chances - although quite how Jesus failed to claim a second hat-trick against Palace in four days was hard to believe.

"Who put the ball in the Palace net?" asked the Arsenal fans. "Half the f****** team did!"
