Arsenal have been defeated 3-0 in a hugely demoralizing loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday night.
Goals from Jean-Phillipe Mateta, Jordan Ayew and a Wilfried Zaha penalty did the damage, with Mikel Arteta's men looking devoid of ideas.
Having been so impressive in the second half of the season, the Gunners were expected to continue their pursuit of UEFA Champions League football.
But they were defeated by former club-legend Patrick Vieira's Palace, who wreaked havoc on the Gunners' defense.
Mikel Arteta will not be a happy man and neither will the Gunners faithful.
Here are some reactions to the shocking Arsenal performance on Twitter:
Tonight's game could prove costly for Arsenal in the top four race
With Tottenham Hotspur having thrashed Newcastle United 5-1 on Sunday, Arteta's men knew this was a crucial game in their battle for the top four.
Yet they have failed to deliver against the Eagles, losing their ninth game of the season.
All the momentum is now with Spurs despite Arteta's men having a game in hand over their arch-rivals.
Both sides sit on 54 points and the north London derby on May 12 may be the decider in what is shaping up to be a tantalizing finish to the Premier League.
Crystal Palace merit their lead, having caused all sorts of problems to the Gunners' defense.
They will head into the top half of the table into ninth if they end up winning and continue their fine season under former Gooner Patrick Vieira.
Arteta's men face a difficult next few games, having to play the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.
The race for the top four continues to change and it is now Spurs who sit in a promising position.

This Piers Morgan is really annoying now because he don't know what he wants I thought he quit the team n follow Aubamayang at Barca now he started again Crystal beat City and nobody talks they beats man u no one say anything it shows now how this so called legends are jealous about Arteta coz they don't know how much or knowledge he brings out n required to put this big club together in the short time. Now they are talking about Viera. Work is always easy when someone is doing it. Don't compare Viera n Arteta it takes a brave person to stood up n coach such a giant team n brings it to the top level. We all loves Viera as a legend and as a person but he always starts good at small team for that matter at Nice he started well but it doesn't last long it end in tears

I loves Arteta. that's football he changes this game second half and chances was there if we could take those chances we should have turned everything around so it's football. Tottenham lost to crystal as well just because it's not today everyone forgot about it
