Arsenal capitulate at Palace as anti-Wenger sentiment continues to build

This is a modal window.

The pressure continues to mount for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, as they were handily dispatched by a flowing Crystal Palace.

Arsenal suffered what will surely be a fatal blow in their challenge for a top-four spot with a shocking 3-0 defeat away at Crystal Palace, a performance that had supporters in the stands lasting out at Arsene Wenger and his players.

Palace always looked in total control of the game despite being happy to cede possession, while Arsenal seemed devoid of ideas at both ends of the pitch. It was an insipid display that demonstrated perfectly why their Champions League hopes are in peril, and why so many fans do not want Wenger to sign a new contract.
