Arsenal surged eight points clear at the top of the Premier League as Bukayo Saka's brace inspired a 4-1 rout of Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the first half at the Emirates Stadium to put the leaders on course for a sixth successive league victory.
Arsenal now have a substantial eight-point lead over second placed Manchester City, who took the weekend off from Premier League duty to thrash Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday. "I'm really pleased with the way we reacted after the Sporting game. We showed a lot of determination," Arteta said."The desire and energy impressed me. They must come back from the international break with the same mindset they had before."
"That is what we need. We need our front players firing and making the difference and today they did that again." They had the ideal opponents in a Palace team now without a win in their 13 matches in 2023 and reeling from Friday's sacking of boss Patrick Vieira.
