What were the highlights of Arsenal's 3-2 victory against Crystal Palace?

Alexis Sanchez 0:08
Lacazette. What a superb finish! Wilshere. In for the run from Sanchez, and he picked him out beautifully! Oh, my word, what a goal! Classic Arsenal. Superb pass. Brilliant finish.
Graeme Souness 0:31
And a third away win of the season for Arsenal, who were challenged but came through it. Jack Wilshere and Mustafi with Jeff Shreves.
Alexis Sanchez 0:37
Squadron, Jack, first of all, do you show character to see the game out?
Jack Wilshere 0:42
Yeah, I think so, you know, when you come here, it's hard. Especially this season, we're under new manager Roy, he's changed them, he's getting results, so we knew it was going to be difficult. We knew they wanted to play long on Benteke, I thought our defence dealt with it well. If one went up, we covered them and we dealt with it, so yeah, we're happy.
Alexis Sanchez 0:59
How comfortable did you feel in defence, Squadron, tonight?
Unknown 1:02
Well, you know, it's always difficult when you come to places like this, when you have to adapt to different football. You know, our idea of football is different, short passing, play. But when you come here, you have to adapt to their game, especially when you don't have the ball. But I think, yeah, we did well. I think we conceded. The first one was a little bit unlucky and the second one was a corner, which we have to defend better. But I think overall we did well.
Alexis Sanchez 1:28
your first away goal of the season and not a header. Was it a case of being in the right place at the right time?
Unknown 1:33
Yeah, I showed my striker instinct there. I was happy to score. I think it was important to go ahead because when you come to places like that and you're going one or down, the game becomes even more difficult, so it was important to go ahead and I think that was the most important thing.
Alexis Sanchez 1:47
Jack, your game is all about supplying the ammunition. When you've got players like Alexis Sanchez, is there so many options for you?
Jack Wilshere 1:52
Yeah, when he comes to feet and spins behind and he makes it difficult for defenders and easy for midfielders to pick the passes. So, yeah, it makes it a lot easier. And he puts it in, which helps you get an assist for it.
Alexis Sanchez 2:04
Another game under your belt.

How did Arsenal's defense perform against Crystal Palace's attack?

Alexis Sanchez 2:06
Are you back to your old best yet?
Jack Wilshere 2:09
They love that question. Yeah, every week. It's difficult to say, you know, I mean... I was happy with my form last year. I'm probably better now, yeah. I feel better, I feel fitter. I'm getting better each game and I'm enjoying my football. So another game, another three points, I'm happy.
Alexis Sanchez 2:27
The manager said it's only the money now. He expects there to be a deal for you. So do you expect that deal to be done soon?
Jack Wilshere 2:33
Well, I spoke to the boss and he said he's going to speak to me. So we'll see when he speaks to me and I'm sure it'll get done, yeah.
Alexis Sanchez 2:40
What's the difference when Arsenal play with a back three or a four for you guys?
Unknown 2:45
Well, there's a lot of difference, but I think I will need too long to explain to you the difference between back four and back three. But I think overall it's important to be concentrated because when you play a back four and then you switch to a back three, it's a different type of game. You have to cover different areas, different areas where you can play the ball. So it's important to be... Yeah, consistent and concentrated when you switch the system. But I think on the other side there's a strength as well, when you can play two systems it's a strength for our team, because the opponent never knows how we're going to start and how we're going to finish the game.
Alexis Sanchez 3:24
Jack, because it's away from home, does it feel even better than three points?
Jack Wilshere 3:27
That's not champagne. Yeah, as Gordon said, it's a difficult place to come and you have to adapt to different types of football and I think we've done that well tonight. There was a time in the second half when they equalised, they were on the front foot and we had to sit in and deal with that. We've done that and we hit them twice on the counter and the game was almost over. So, yeah, I think we've done well and we're happy.
Alexis Sanchez 3:47
Well done, guys. Thanks for talking to us. Yeah, but had to work for it tonight.
Graeme Souness 3:52
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.
