Champions Arsenal finish on a high with win over Crystal Palace

Arsenal celebrated their Premier League title triumph with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the final day.

The Gunners, confirmed as champions for the first time in 22 years on Tuesday, finished a historic campaign on a high thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke either side of half-time.

Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled a goal back for the Eagles but Arsenal held on to finish on 85 points, seven clear of Manchester City, who were beaten by Aston Villa in Pep Guardiola's final game.

Crystal Palace: Henderson (6), Munoz (6), Clyne (6), Lerma (6), Riad (6), Cardines (6), Kamada (6), Hughes (6), Devenny (6), Sarr (6), Strand Larsen (6).

Subs used: Wharton (n/a), Mitchell (6), Pino (7), Guessand (6), Mateta (7).

Arsenal: Kepa (7), Zubimendi (7), Mosquera (7), Hincapie (7), Calafiori (7), Lewis-Skelly (7), Norgaard (6), Dowman (7), Madueke (8), Jesus (7), Martinelli (8).

Subs used: Gabriel (6), Havertz (7), Merino (6), Gyokeres (6).

Both Mikel Arteta and Oliver Glasner named rotated teams at Selhurst Park ahead of their upcoming European finals, with Max Dowman one of nine Arsenal changes as he became the youngest starter in Premier League history aged 16 and 144 days.

Dowman had a hand in Arsenal's opener when his first-time flick allowed Gabriel Martinelli to play in Jesus, who finished clinically at Dean Henderson's near post having missed earlier chances.

Arsenal's second goal was their record 19th of the season from a corner as substitute Kai Havertz headed a deep delivery back across goal for Madueke to volley home through a crowd of bodies.

Palace thought they had salvaged a draw late on when Yeremy Pino fired home having crossed for Mateta's goal moments earlier, but it was ruled out due to an offside against Evann Guessand.

That reprieve ensured the champions could celebrate a 26th Premier League victory of the season before their attention, like Palace's, turns to their upcoming European final.

The Gunners received a boost for theirs with Mikel Merino appearing as a substitute having recovered from a foot injury, but there was a scare for Palace before their Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano as Adam Wharton was forced off with an issue.

Arsenal scored 19 goals from corners in the Premier League this season, the most of any side in a single campaign in the competition's history.

Arsenal's Martin Zubimendi became just the second player to win the title and play every game in his first season in the Premier League after Jens Lehmann in 2003/04.

Arsenal have become the first side in Premier League history to neither concede a penalty or receive a red card in a single campaign.
