LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, out for five months with a knee injury, scored twice to lead his team to a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday and back to the top of the Premier League.

They might only stay there until Monday when Manchester City, who they knocked off the summit, play third-placed Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium, but the 20-year-old Oxlade-Chamerlain's return to fitness should be a huge boost for the Gunners in the title run-in.
