Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal: Champions finish historic season on a high thanks to Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke goals

Arsenal lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time in 22 years after a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

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

Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled a goal back 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 in charge.

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.
