· Sports · Sportstar, Pain in the Arsenal
Arsenal secured a gritty 2-0 win over Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday to draw level with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. Ezri Konsa opened the scoring in the seventh minute by poking home from a penalty box melee, before Gabriel Magalhães headed in a second half cross from Ben White. Manager Mikel Arteta was forced to adjust his starting lineup due to a midweek fixture against Bayern Munich and injuries to Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis. Everton held resolute defensively despite generating few attacking chances, leaving manager David Moyes frustrated with his side's lack of creativity. Arsenal now sit second in the standings behind Manchester City only on goal difference.
