Arsenal sink Everton to join Man City at Premier League summit

On Saturday, Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Everton, leveling the Premier League table with Manchester City. Ezri Konsa opened the scoring for Arsenal in the opening minutes and Gabriel Magalhaes added a second goal in the second half. This win came after City's loss to Villa Park in the early kick-off. Both teams now have 21 points, but City has a better goal difference.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had to adapt his lineup due to Bukayo Saka's injury, selecting Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze as wingers. Arteta's team dominated with set-pieces, a strength they showcased last season leading them to their first Premier League title in years. Everton fought back strongly and nearly scored, but Arteta made a triple substitution in the second half to maintain Arsenal's lead.
