Arsenal secured their first win of the season with a thrilling victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Gunners dominated possession and created several chances throughout the game but it was Bukayo Saka who finally broke the deadlock for them.

The Nigeria international winger stole the show early on when he scored from close range to put Arsenal ahead in the 27th minute. The goal came after a fine move involving Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mesut Ozil, with Saka picking up the ball in midfield before slotting home from six yards out.

Crystal Palace did well to respond to the goal, creating several opportunities of their own but they were unable to find the back of the net. However, Arsenal continued to dominate and eventually doubled their lead in the 55th minute through Alexandre Lacazette.

The French forward made no mistake this time, firing home from close range after being played into space by Aubameyang. The goal proved to be the winner as Arsenal held on to claim all three points at Selhurst Park.

It was another strong display from Arsenal's attacking trio of Aubameyang, Ozil and Saka, who all had important roles to play in the victory. Aubameyang continues to look sharp and has already scored two goals in his first two Premier League appearances this season.

Saka meanwhile showed why he is regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in English football. His pace, skill and finishing ability make him a real threat going forward, and he will undoubtedly continue to impress fans and managers alike in the coming weeks and months.

Overall, Arsenal's 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace was a much-needed boost for their campaign so far. They now have four points from just two games and will hope to build on that success as they look to secure a top-four finish in the league this season.
