The midfielder swapped South London for North London in August after a brilliant spell with the Eagles , in which he scored the most famous goal in the club's history with the winner in the FA Cup final last season.

However, that was not on his mind when he acrobatically smashed home from inside the box after Gabriel knocked the ball down to him. No surprise that it came via a set-piece.

As expected given the relationship between player, club and fanbase, there was no celebration from the 27-year-old but he must have been thrilled to get off the mark in the league for the Gunners.

Can Palace fight back? Could former Arsenal man Eddie Nketiah come off the bench to return the Eze favour?
