Arsenal v Crystal Palace player ratings: Gabriel 8, Martinelli 8; Richards 3, Eze 6

Refreshed Gunners run riot at Emirates Stadium as poor Palace fall apart

Arsenal returned from their mid-season break in Dubai with a bang as they easily swatted aside Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta's side scored five unanswered goals to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool and leave the dismal visitors looking over their shoulders, with a section of the Palace support even protesting against chairman Steve Parrish and manager Roy Hodgson.

The hosts got off to a flying start as they cemented their status as the Premier League set-piece kings - no side has scored from more - with two goals from corners. Defender Gabriel headed in Declan Rice's plump cross and then forced in a second, officially credited as a Dean Henderson own goal, as Arsenal raced into a 2-0 lead.

Gabriel Jesus fed Leandro Trossard for a slick third on the counter, while Gabriel Martinelli came off the bench to slot a late brace and make it 5-0.

Arteta said: "Today we were much more efficient in the opponents' box particularly than the last few games. Last few games we had moments playing better than today but this is about scoring goals.

"Set pieces are a big part of us, especially against teams that want to defend deeply. It is a good way to win games."

'THE WORST THING YOU CAN EAT'

Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.

Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines: 

Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.

Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.

Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.

Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.

Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
