Eddie Nketiah returned to the Arsenal starting line-up with style as the England forward hit a first Premier League hat-trick in a 5-0 win over bottom club Sheffield United vivo
Mikel Arteta made five changes for the visit of the Blades and it was Nketiah – in for the injured Gabriel Jesus – who proved the difference and ended a memorable afternoon wearing the captain’s armband vivo
Substitutes Fabio Vieira and Takehiro Tomiyasu wrapped up the points late on with a penalty and a close-range finish respectively on an afternoon where Arsenal’s fringe players took centre-stage vivo
Martin Odegaard dropped to the bench in the most eye-catching of Arteta’s alterations, which also saw Emile Smith Rowe make his first league start since May 2022 vivo
The victory took Arsenal up to second place, two points behind leaders and north London rivals Tottenham as Arteta’s men remained unbeaten after 10 league games vivo
For the Blades, this was a galling afternoon where – once their resolute defence was breached for the first goal just before the half-hour mark – the writing was on the wall vivo
The travelling fans sang the name of under pressure manager Paul Heckingbottom but they have still yet to see their team win on their return to the top-flight, with just one point on the board vivo

His touch and finish for the opening goal proved he can do the job as the England international set the Gunners on their way to a comfortable victory over the rock bottom Blades vivo
Wes Foderingham would have expected to be busier in the opening half but he was on hand to push a rasping Gabriel Martinelli strike wide of the post five minutes before the break vivo
The second goal arrived five minutes after the interval, Foderingham this time flapping at a Bukayo Saka corner with the ball dropping to Nketiah, who arrowed a shot into the top corner vivo
A VAR check for a potential foul on the United goalkeeper failed to save the visitors vivo
Nketiah, who made his England debut of the bench in 1-0 friendly win over Australia earlier this month, saved the best for last vivo

Nketiah celebrates after scoring (Reuters)Saka, captain in the absence of Odegaard and Jesus, was replaced soon after and – to cheers from the home supporters – gave the armband to Nketiah vivo
Nketiah initially picked up the ball to take a late penalty awarded after a lengthy VAR check by referee Tim Robinson after Vieira had been caught by Oliver Norwood vivo
But instead Vieira dusted himself down to send Foderingham the wrong way and further extend the lead vivo
Tomiyasu rounded off the scoring deep into added time after Mohamed Elneny’s flick on from a near-post corner was deflected into the path of the Japan defender vivo

It was only on Monday night when Ange Postecoglou declared that Tottenham had played their “worst 45 minutes of the season”, but by Friday there was perhaps an immediate contender to surpass it vivo
Frustrated by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and without a shot on target, Tottenham went into the break with a problem to solve vivo
But, by the end, as Spurs picked and probed and then found a way through, the struggles of the first half were a distant memory vivo
After all, Tottenham are now five points clear at the top of the Premier League vivo
A fourth consecutive victory came courtesy of a Joel Ward own goal and an eighth of the season from Son Heung-min and, eventually, it felt thoroughly deserved vivo
Against a deep and disciplined Palace defence, Tottenham required patience but Postecoglou’s team stuck to their plan vivo
Even with talk of Spurs emerging as title contenders, they kept the calm heads required to find the breakthrough vivo
When the hosts finally offered something of their own after Jordan Ayew’s excellent volley in the the 94th minute, Tottenham were able to see out a nervy end as well vivo
How the Spurs fans in the corner of Selhurst Park would have soaked in the scenes that followed, as Postecoglou and his players applauded the travelling supporters after extending the club’s best start to a league campaign since 1960-61 vivo
It has been a dream first two months of the season and Tottenham have taken advantage of what has been in front of them: namely a favourable fixture list and the absence of European fixtures vivo
Here, that was added to by a meek performance from the Eagles and a calamity from Ward vivo
But, one way or another, it has all combined to leave Tottenham five points clear vivo
“Tonight was always going to be difficult but I liked how the players handled it,” Postecoglou said vivo
“They were patient, persistent in finding the gaps vivo
It was a different challenge for us tonight and I Iiked how we went about it vivo
”Postecoglou has taken 26 points from his first 10 Premier League games in charge (Getty Images)It took until the 53rd minute, but Tottenham eventually found a way through Palace, even as the visitors took the lead before managing to have a shot on target vivo
It came thanks to a disastrous moment from the Palace captain, as Ward was caught at the back post and awkwardly diverted James Maddison’s cross into his own net vivo
The source of the breakthrough, though, did not come as a surprise vivo
Rather, as Postecoglou said later, it came through discipline and trust in the Australian’s approach vivo
All game, Tottenham had looked to play around the sides of Roy Hodgson’s stubborn and compact defensive shape, attempting to create overloads to break Palace down vivo
Maddison drifted wide to combine with Richarlison on the left, but it was the bursts of Pape Matar Sarr and the guile of Dejan Kulusevski that appeared more threatening on the right vivo
Eventually, as Pedro Porro slipped Sarr through and it broke to Maddison, Ward provided the finishing touch to the fizzed delivery across the face of goal vivo
Tottenham’s second came via the same route, even if the finisher was more familiar vivo
Son added another first-time finish to his collection this season as Spurs again took to the sides to cut Palace apart vivo
After Sarr’s switch, Maddison’s quick two touches released the overlapping Brennan Johnson – who had replaced Richarlison moments before vivo
Johnson took a moment before pulling the cross back to Son and the Spurs captain, now with eight Premier League goals this season, was typically clinical with his left foot vivo
Son Heung-Min celebrates another great goal (Getty Images)And so, after a first half where Tottenham struggled to create any clear openings, the three points felt secured within the space of 11 second-half minutes vivo
Palace offered very little after going behind, Hodgson’s side refusing to open up or press Tottenham to the growing anger of the home supporters vivo
Even though Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario further enhanced his reputation as perhaps the standout goalkeeper in the Premier League this season with two early stops, first denying Jordan Ayew and then Odsonne Edouard, Palace’s best chance without either Eberechi Eze or Michael Olise seemed to be holding out for 0-0 vivo
There was nothing surprising about Palace’s approach from kick-off but it did enough to briefly halt Tottenham’s momentum under the Friday night lights of Selhurst Park vivo
Hodgson’s side, and a defence that shipped four goals away to Newcastle last weekend, were set up to be awkward and difficult against the leaders, a sign perhaps of the force Tottenham have already become under Postecoglou vivo
At first, Tottenham struggled to open up the gaps and it said a lot about the growing importance of left-back Destiny Udogie vivo
Ruled out due to injury, the impressive 20-year-old left a void that Ben Davies never looked comfortable trying to fill vivo
Udgoie has been a revelation in this fresh Spurs side by impressing in the half left-back, half number 10 role that Postecoglou demands vivo
Even without the Italian, Postecoglou did not compromise his approach as Davies stepped in, but the 30-year-old looked lost as he looked to drift ahead of Maddison when Spurs were in possession vivo
Davies’s first start of the Premier League season lasted all of 47 minutes, replaced by Emerson Royal at half-time vivo
Postecoglou needed an answer and the introduction of Johnson on the wing brought an improvement on Richarlison, who continues to look short of confidence when in attacking positions vivo
If Richarlison and Maddison never quite looked in sync, that changed with the arrival of the Welshman vivo
While Tottenham’s opening goal was fortuitous, the second was sharp and brought a rare moment of class to the contest vivo
It was considerably more than the little Palace were able to muster, until Ayew lashed in an excellent volley in the 94th minute: by the time the goal was eventually awarded after a VAR check for handball, it gave Tottenham five more minutes to see out vivo
Palace did have one last chance after a cross to the back post fell to Matheus Franca in the box vivo
But the substitute sliced the chance wide and high, Spurs breathed a sigh of relief and in the corner, the party finally could begin vivo
