Arsenal set a new club record for league victories this afternoon, defeating Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates.
Arsenal knew that a win over the Eagles would put them eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, and they delivered with goals from Granit Xhaka, Gabriel Martinelli, and a Bukayo Saka brace.
In addition to the excitement of the win and the distance they now have over Manchester City, the club set a new record for league wins.
Today’s victory was their 22nd of the season, equaling their total from the previous season, and the most they have ever achieved in the first 28 games of a league season.

City do have a game in hand, which if won, would close the eight-point gap, but with the way Arsenal has been playing, many will be seriously thinking that they can maintain their lead and win the Premier League for the first time in 19 years.
