"Title Race Is On": Mikel Arteta Bullish After Arsenal Batter Crystal Palace 5-1 In Premier League
Mikel Arteta said the Premier League title race is "on" after his Arsenal side swept Crystal Palace aside 5-1 on Saturday to move just three points behind leaders Liverpool. Gabriel Jesus, who scored a hat-trick against Palace in the League Cup at the Emirates on Wednesday, netted twice at Selhurst Park and was only denied a third by the width of a post, with Kai Havertz pouncing. Palace forward Ismaila Sarr, who had pulled his team level at 1-1, failed to make the most of two inviting opportunities early in the second half.
