Christian Benteke's first goal in a year helped Crystal Palace to an excellent win over Arsenal which confirmed their Premier League place.

The Gunners top hopes got dented as a result of this home loss.

Benteke was left unmarked to head Luka Milivojevic's delivery past Bernd Leno, only for Mesut Ozil to equalise with a clever finish shortly after half-time.
