Arsenal have reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League table after a routine 2-0 win over Everton at home. Gabriel, who reached a significant milestone in his career, played a pivotal role in the victory. The Brazilian defender scored his 200th Premier League goal with a powerful header from Ben White’s cross in the 68th minute, and also assisted Ezri Konsa's first goal from close range.
Gabriel's involvement in the opening goal, when his downward flick from Martin Odegaard’s corner found Konsa, showcased his importance to the team.

With this win, Arsenal join Manchester City at the summit, with City holding a three-goal lead.
Everton, who are ninth in the table with 10 points, remain just three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
