EPL: Trossard strikes as Arsenal beat Everton at Goodison Park

Arsenal showed great determination to secure a narrow yet well-deserved victory over struggling Everton at Goodison Park.

The Gunners made a change in goal, replacing England’s Aaron Ramsdale with David Raya. They had faced difficulties in their recent visits to Everton, losing four out of their last five matches.

Despite Everton’s ongoing struggle to secure a win in the Premier League this season, they were unable to match Arsenal’s quality.

Leandro Trossard, an Arsenal substitute, made a crucial breakthrough with a stylish side-footed goal after 69 minutes.

Gabriel Martinelli’s sweeping first-half finish for Arsenal was narrowly ruled out for offside, a decision attributed to Eddie Nketiah in the build-up.

Everton couldn’t withstand the pressure in the second half, ultimately conceding to Trossard’s goal after persistent attacking play by Arsenal around the box.

Manager Mikel Arteta was visibly thrilled as his team maintained their unbeaten start to the season, narrowing the gap to league leaders Manchester City by just two points.

The home team appeared destined for a challenging season, struggling to find form and falling short of the dominant performance they had against Arsenal when manager Sean Dyche took charge back in February.
