Arsenal kept alive their faint hopes of winning the Premier League title and also avenged last month's FA Cup defeat when they thumped Watford 4-0 at the Emirates on Saturday.
Arsenal took just four minutes to score through striker Alexis Sanchez whose header was blocked by Heurelho Gomes although the keeper was powerless to stop Sanchez scoring from the rebound.
Alex Iwobi doubled Arsenal's lead after 38 minutes when he side-footed home a pass from Sanchez to confirm Arsenal's dominance.
Watford, who conceded early in the first half, also conceded early in the second, when Hector Bellerin's shot took a big deflection to put the Gunners further ahead before substitute Theo Walcott made it 4-0 in the dying minutes.
Crystal Palace rescue point against 10-man West Ham
Dwight Gayle scored the equalizer as Crystal Palace drew against a 10-man West Ham 2-2.
The result stalled West Ham's top-four ambitions, as they remained fifth.
Palace started well with Damien Delaney's early header.
West Ham then took charge, Manuel Lanzini scoring just three minutes later, followed by a sublime Dimitri Payet free kick just before halftime.
The game turned when West Ham was reduced to 10 men, Cheikhou Kouyate receiving a red card for a foul on Gayle in the 67th minute. Gayle then leveled eight minutes later with a strike from 12 meters out.
Crystal Palace were still without a win this year.
