Eberechi Eze scores against his former club as Arsenal beat Crystal Palace to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points.

Arsenal have posted an incredible record in English football that only Manchester United can claim to have emulated. The Gunners have become famed for their defensive resilience down the years, dating back to First Division title-winning days of George Graham.

Arsenal had to be patient but eventually the Gunners thrashed Atletico Madrid with four goals in 13 minutes and a 4-0 victory in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

This year, though, it seems to be different. This year, Arsenal have Eze. The England international is a player who lives for the “magic moments”, as Mikel Arteta calls them, and he produced one when it was needed to win this awkward, gritty match against his former team.

Arsenal's defense are formidable but the signing of Eberechi Eze up front has made a real difference in tight games.

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid will start at 3 p.m. ET/ 12 p.m. PT in the United States. The match will kick off at 8 p.m. local time in London, England. The match will be shown on select TV channels and through streaming services in the U.S. The match will be shown in other countries such as the UK and Spain.
