Arsenal draw level with Manchester City at the top of the table, only behind on goal difference, with a scrappy 2-0 win over Everton at the Emirates on Saturday.
Ezri Konsa scored the first goal of the match in the seventh minute of the match, when he poked the ball into the goal after a melee in the penalty box.
Gabriel Magalhaes added the second goal in the second half and gave the Gunners some comfort in the game when he climbed the highest to head a cross in from Ben White.
Mikel Arteta was forced to make changes to his starting lineup, having played a tough match in the midweek against Bayern Munich and an injury pileup with Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis both out of contention.
Everton did not make the game easy for Arsenal, despite not having too many attempts at the Gunners’ goal, they held resolute for the most part and frustrated ARS. However, David Moyes would be frustrated at the lack of creativity by the EVE forwards for most of the match.
