Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's first start since the opening day of the season saw him bag a second-half brace to send Arsenal back to the top of the Premier League.

Tony Pulis set his Palace side out to frustrate Arsenal and saw his plan pay off in the first-half as the visitors defended well to go in at half-time still level.

But Arsenal notched up a gear in the second-half and Oxlade-Chamberlain marked his return to first-team action two goals and brilliant performance.
