Eberechi Eze delivered a magical moment against his former club, firing home a stunning half-volley as Arsenal beat Crystal Palace in a tense London derby at the Emirates Stadium.

The goal kept the Gunners in charge of their own fate, as they extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
