Arsenal has moved back to the top of the Premier League table following their 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

With previous leaders Manchester City hosting Chelsea on Monday, Arsene Wenger's team had an opportunity to regain top spot and, with to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's first goals of the season, they seized it.

According to Sport24, the midfielder was making just his second league start of the campaign after missing the first five months of it with a knee problem.

The report mentioned that with Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey out through injury, manager Arsene Wenger had brought in Kim Kallstrom on loan from Spartak Moscow to boost his midfield options.

 

But the Sweden international signed with a back problem that, despite the club doctors informing Wenger prior to the transfer, could mean that he misses around six games, the report added.
