In a highly anticipated Premier League clash, Arsenal emerged victorious over Everton, claiming their first win at Goodison Park in six years.
Despite having a Gabriel Martinelli goal ruled out for offside via VAR in the first half, the Gunners remained composed and dominated the match.
It was not until the 69th minute that Arsenal were able to break through Everton’s defence, with substitute Leandro Trossard’s clever side-foot finish finding the back of the net.
The win was a significant milestone for Arsenal, who had struggled in recent years at Goodison Park, having lost four of their last five visits.
With this win, the Gunners remain unbeaten this season, joining Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool on 13 points from five games, just two points behind leaders Manchester City who have a perfect record.
Meanwhile, Everton’s struggles continue, having failed to secure a Premier League win this season and currently sitting third from bottom with only one point.
Manager Mikel Arteta was delighted with his side’s performance, as his team maintained their unbeaten start to the season and secured a crucial win at a venue where he has faced numerous challenges as a coach.

The victory was also significant for new signing David Raya, who enjoyed a comfortable Premier League debut for the club, thanks to Everton’s lacklustre performance.
Despite the early departure of Martinelli due to a hamstring injury, Arsenal remained focused and determined, passing with precision and controlling the match with ease.
Trossard’s goal was the result of some exceptional build-up play from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, highlighting the team’s attacking prowess.
Overall, Arsenal’s performance was impressive, passing a significant test with flying colours.
The win was a testament to the team’s resilience and determination, and a welcome relief for Arteta, who has struggled to find consistency in his team’s performances.
The Gunners will aim to build on this result and continue their impressive run of form in the upcoming matches.
