Arsenal fans would have arrived at Saturday's game against Crystal Palace at the Emirates feeling a little uneasy.

With the ongoing rumours surrounding Alexis Sanchez's now likely move to Manchester United , and the transfers of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang not secured yet, they'd have been expecting a tough afternoon against Roy Hodgson's organised side.

Then Arsenal went 4-0 up inside 22 minutes .

Goals from Nacho Monreal, Alex Iwobi, Laurent Koscielny and Alexandre Lacazette saw the Gunners race into a stunning advantage within the first quarter of the game, blowing Hodgson's Eagles away.
