April 10 (Reuters) - - CRYSTAL PALACE 3 ARSENAL 0Arsenal's hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four suffered a potentially fatal blow as they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at relegation-threatened Crystal Palace on Monday. "It's damaging of course," a seemingly dispirited Wenger told Sky Sports when asked about how serious the blow was to their chances of Champions League football next season. "It was a great three points and a well needed-three points," Townsend said. Arsenal started shakily against in-form Palace and within the first seven minutes Cabaye had wasted a dangerous shooting position before Milivojevic blazed narrowly wide. Without some desperate last-ditch defending Palace, revitalised in their past six games, could have scored further goals.
