And a third away win of the season for Arsenal, who were challenged but came through it.
Jack Wilshere and Mustafi with Jeff Shreves.
Came through three goals for two in the end.
16 attempts each, nine on target from Arsenal, the second highest they've managed in a away game this year.
Just two from Palace, those were the goals in the second half.
A lot more passes, almost double the passes from Arsenal to Palace tonight.
And 35% of possession, that's 7% more Palace had tonight than when they beat them 3-0 back in April of last season.
Did they deserve it, Thierry, overall?
Well, it didn't look a contest in the first half, Graham.
What was different about Crystal Palace at the start of that second half?
Well, they found another gear and got a goal.
Back in it, and then a big chance that they managed to conjure Wilfred Zaha with Ruben Loftus-Cheek at that moment.
Was that potentially, Thierry, a game-changing moment?
How many have done better, do you think, in that situation?
Was it a question of Arsenal regaining their composure, do you think, Graham?
Or were they helped in that by Palace?
Different for the third goal.
There might be reasons for that as well, which we'll come to.
But what about the quality of the ball here from Jack Wilshere?
810 Premier League games in charge for Arsene Wenger, equalling Sonics Ferguson's record.
