… as unbeaten Gunners overcome winless Toffees
The Gunners attained a keenly contested triumph at Goodison Park on Sunday, to extend their great outset to the new season and end a six-year wait for a win on Merseyside against the Toffees
Arsenal made it four wins from five at the start of the Premier League season with a narrow 1-0 win over Everton, with the Toffees still in the bottom three on just one point from their opening fixtures. Everton sought to frustrate Arsenal for much of the match until a fine Leandro Trossard strike in the second half meant the three points deservedly went back to London, Eurosport reports.
Leandro Trossard came off the bench to fire Arsenal to a merited victory at embattled Everton with a stunning second-half winner.
The Belgian winger raced onto a lovely pass from Bukayo Saka to slip a delightful shot in off a post on 69 minutes after a superb piece of creative play by Martin Odegaard to find Saka free in the area.
Mikel Arteta’s side should have enjoyed a more comfortable winning margin at Goodison Park with Gabriel Martinelli seeing an effort ruled out on 19 minutes after he finished in style only for VAR to rule offside against Eddie Nketiah.
Arsenal join Tottenham and Liverpool on 13 points, two behind leaders Manchester City, while troubled Everton remain third bottom of the standings on a solitary point from their opening five matches of the campaign.
