Gabriel Martinelli deserved to have a top performance on the day his seven-year wait to get his hands on a major title at Arsenal came to an end.
The Gunners cruised to another three points at Selhurst Park and even extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table after Man City dropped points.
🗳️ VOTE for Arsenal’s best performer against Crystal Palace?
Mikel Arteta’s team enjoyed their 26th win of the Premier League campaign on the afternoon they got their hands on the title.
Following the impressive win in South London, Arsenal Insider rates the performances of the Gunners’ players at Selhurst Park.
Kepa Arrizabalaga – 7
Kepa Arrizabalaga is very unlucky not to have got his clean sheet, as he lost towards the end of the afternoon.
Martin Zubimendi – 6
Arteta used Martin Zubimendi at right-back against Palace, and the Spaniard looked pretty solid against Ismaila Sarr and Yeremy Pino.
Cristhian Mosquera – 8
Cristhian Mosquera, for £13 million, could be one of the best value signings Arsenal have made in years, and he was impressive.
Piero Hincapie – 7
Piero Hincapie has also been a great signing for Arsenal, given his versatility, and he was very solid in defence against the Eagles.
Riccardo Calafiori – 6
Riccardo Calafiori was given 45 minutes against Palace and had a rather quiet afternoon at Selhurst Park.
Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8
Myles Lewis-Skelly once again continued his impressive finish to the season with another strong display in midfield.
🤔 Who starts the Champions League final in midfield: Myles Lewis-Skelly or Martin Zubimendi?
Christian Norgaard – 4
Christian Norgaard has not played much football this season, and his performance looked rather rusty in midfield. He was substituted at half-time for Kai Havertz.
Noni Madueke – 8
Noni Madueke has proven to be a great signing for Arsenal and enjoyed a great game at Selhurst.
The winger netted the second goal of the game as the Champions stormed towards another three points.
Max Dowman – 5
Max Dowman became the youngest player to win the Premier League and receive a guard of honour, but he struggled to make an impact at Palace.
Gabriel Martinelli – 8
Gabriel Martinelli missed some decent chances for the Gunners, but looked lively on the wing and assisted Jesus’ opener.
Gabriel Jesus – 6
Despite getting his goal, Jesus missed some big chances against Palace on what could be his final appearance for the club.
The Brazilian has been a great servant for the North London club, and it’s so great to see him score on the day the Gunners lift the title.
Gabriel Magalhaes – 6
Kai Havertz – 6
Mikel Merino – 5
It was great to see Mikel Merino finally make his return to the Premier League action, having been out since January.
Eberechi Eze – 6
Viktor Gyokeres – 6
