Having secured the top-flight crown on Wednesday, a much-changed Arsenal signed off with all three points after goals in either half from Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke.

With both teams eyeing their respective European finals, there was also a piece of history as Max Dowman – aged 16 years and 144 days – became the youngest player to ever start a Premier League match.

Jesus twice went close to an opener early on, striking the frame of the goal with his first effort, before having a one-on-one attempt saved by Dean Henderson in the Palace goal.

Arsenal made its dominance count three minutes before half-time as Gabriel Martinelli set up Jesus, who fired past Henderson at his near post.

Kai Havertz teed up Madueke shortly after the break, with the England winger calmly volleying in from inside the penalty area.

Mikel Arteta will have been disappointed that Arsenal allowed Jean-Philippe Mateta to set up an exciting end to the game when he glanced in an 89th-minute header.

Yeremy Pino then thought he had rescued a point for Palace, but his shot deflected off Evann Guessand in an offside position as Arsenal profited from a late VAR review to take all three points.
