Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, moving level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City after City's defeat at Aston Villa. Arsenal made four changes from their previous match, with Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino getting their first Premier League starts of the season. The win was Arsenal's seventh in eight league games.

Ezri Konsa scored the opening goal for Arsenal after seven minutes, poking in at the back post from a corner. Viktor Gyokeres was credited with the assist, making it two assists from two chances created. Gabriel headed in the second goal in the second half on his 200th Premier League appearance.

Everton were without key players Jarrad Branthwaite and Jack Grealish due to concussion protocol and sickness, respectively. They failed to capitalize on a chance to equalize just before half-time when Thierno Barry missed an opportunity from Ben White's weak headed back pass to David Raya. This loss marked Everton's second consecutive defeat and their fourth attempt without an away win.

Source context

Champions Arsenal capitalised on Manchester City’s defeat at Aston Villa to move level on points with the Premier League leaders by comfortably beating Everton 2-0 at a rain-soaked Emirates Stadium. Ezri Konsa poked in at the back post after seven minutes to score a scrappy first goal for the club and end Arsenal's wait for a first non-penalty set-piece goal of the season before Gabriel's second-half header sealed the win on his 200th Premier League appearance. Arsenal, buoyed by the news of City's first league defeat this season, were as relentless as the north London rain as they made it seven wins from eight in the league to keep up with their rivals on 21 points, behind only on goal difference.
