Only a point separated the two London sides going into the match, with both teams aware that either could leap to the top half of the table with a win.
Arsenal looked to make it four wins on the bounce and started the game with a lot of dominance but it was Crystal Palace who had the better chances of the half.
The Gunners played with some fluidity in the opening exchanges but were limited to speculative efforts early on as Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka tested the visiting keeper from distance.
Palace nearly snatched an unlikely late in the first half after Eberechi Eze clipped in a lovely cross which was met by James Tomkins who saw his effort strike the woodwork.
Benteke then had another header brilliantly saved by Bernd Leno after rising highest to meet Tyrick Mitchell’s perfect cross
Despite the first half onslaught from the visitors, Arsenal came out with much more intent after the break and a series of attacks forced Palace to sink deep in their own half.
