Arsenal's Champions League qualification hopes were damaged further by a 3-0 loss at Crystal Palace on Monday in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace battered Arsenal 3-0 on Monday to edge away from the Premier League's relegation zone and pile even more pressure on beleaguered Arsene Wenger.

Sam Allardyce had lost 15 times to Wenger in the league previously but the hosts' resurgence under the former England manager continued with their fifth win in six games - which now includes the scalp of Arsenal having also beaten league leaders Chelsea.

Palace opened the scoring with their first shot on target, Andros Townsend turning in a low cross from his fellow winger Wilfried Zaha after Arsenal failed to deal with a long ball.
