A trip to Selhurst Park to face relegation-threatened Crystal Palace seemed like a good opportunity for Arsenal to continue their bid to finish in the top four of the Premier League.

The Gunners beat Palace 2-0 in the reverse fixture in January and were unbeaten in their past 14 fixtures against the Eagles, winning 10 of them.

It wouldn’t be easy, of course. Nothing is with Arsenal these days. But Arsene Wenger will have been acutely aware of the chance to pick up three points.

But Arsenal produced one of their worst performances of the season, going down 3-0 in truly embarrassing fashion.

Goals from Andros Townsend, Yohan Cabaye and Luka Milivojevic gave Sam Allardyce’s team a well-deserved 3-0 win that compounded Wenger to another evening of intense criticism from fans and pundits alike.

“That dressing room is lost,” Arsenal hero Ian Wright tweeted after the game.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal’s players have given up on Wenger and could be trying to oust him from the club.

“It looks like the Arsenal players have chucked it,” Carragher said, per the Daily Mail. “Four games on the bounce conceding three in all of them, putting in a performance like that.

“That's what it looks to me. People always talk about Arsene Wenger, it's clear the fans are split. I don’t think the fans are split, more of them want change. It's now looking like the players want change.”

Struggle for top four

The result leaves the north London side seven points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City.

Forget the Champions League. Arsenal are making hard work of their bid to secure an automatic place in the Europa League group stage.

Szczesny's reaction on Instagram

It’s not just Arsenal’s fans who are upset. Wojciech Szczesny, currently out on loan at Roma, took to Instagram after the match, posting an image that just about sums up how every Arsenal supporter feels right now.

No words are needed to describe that.

Benteke gave Arsenal's defence fits

Szczesny was probably relieved he didn’t have to play behind a defence that struggled to cope with Christian Benteke throughout the contest.

"He [Benteke] was up for it, and he is a handful for everybody when he's like that,” Wenger said, per Sky Sports. “I think they were sharper than us in the duels and in many decisive situations.

"It's not the right moment to analyse the game. We had a lot of possession. They were stronger in the decisive duels, especially Benteke tonight."
