Premier League leader losing ground: Arsenal stumble at Everton

The Toffees, who are fighting to maintain the category, gave the surprise and beat the brand new pointer of the English competition.

Arsenal could not maintain their good run in the Premier League and fell from the minimum count against Everton . A solitary score from James Tarkowski gave the league the second loss to the Gunnerswho were five points behind Manchester City, their closest pursuer.

In the previous one, the victory of the team led by Mikel Artera was certain. His visit to Goodison Park didn’t seem to mean any major problems, as Liverpool’s historic cast was far from their best moment. THE caramels They were marching in relegation positions and the addition was imperative, but it was a more than complex task, since they had in front of them the brand new pointer of the contest.

After the departure of Frank Lampard, Sean Dyche took over, who left Burnley to settle in Merseyside. His first duel was against a very difficult obstacle, but he complied insistently. “New coach, guaranteed victory”, they say there, and the English have respected the postulate. Everton are back to winning ways after almost four months. Ten matches -eight per championship- have passed for the Blues to win again.

THE Gunners they couldn’t translate overwhelming possession of the ball, 70%, into goalscoring chances. They had no depth and they were getting complicated before the trap proposed by Dyche, which reinforced the core of the caramels with a line of four behind, one in five in midfield and had only one striker.

The match was a draw. A priori, a good result for the locals. However, at minute 60, Tarkowski’s goal would unleash the hubbub. After a corner kick from Dwight McNeill, the Englishman won in second and beat Aaron Ramsdale, sealing the only goal of the duel.

In the half hour remaining, Everton held off the onslaught from Arsenal and secured a momentous victory. THE itches They climbed to the eighteenth position, with 18 units, and continue in the relegation zone. However, they are in the same line as Leeds and West Ham, who occupy the top spots. Meanwhile, Arsenal couldn’t stretch their gap and stagnated with 50 points, five more than Manchester City.
