Arsenal began their reign as Premier League champions with a routine 2-1 win at Crystal Palace, lifting the trophy at Selhurst Park for the first time since 2004 in front of jubilant travelling supporters.
With both sides rotated ahead of European finals, the game had the feel of a pre-season fixture, complete with scheduled drinks breaks in the heat. Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke either side of half-time settled it before Jean-Philippe Mateta's late consolation and a disallowed Yeremy Pino strike in stoppage time.
A Coronation in South London
Arsenal's players were given a guard of honour by Palace before performing their pre-match huddle in front of their fans. Owner Stan Kroenke, on a rare visit alongside son Josh, watched from the stands as Mikel Arteta finally got his hands on the silverware he has coveted for so long, embracing his wife, Lorena Bernal, on the pitch.
