Arsenal are facing a huge task to overtake arch-rivals Tottenham and book their place in next season's Champions League on the final day of this term. But they were handed a significant boost in midweek when Everton finally secured their top-flight status.
It all appeared to be going wrong for the Toffees again. As the half-time whistle blew, Frank Lampard's side found themselves 2-0 down thanks to strikes from Jean-Phillipe Mateta and Jordan Ayew. After their defeat to Brentford on Saturday there was a feeling another shot at survival could pass them by.
But they came out fighting and second half goals from Michael Keane, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin confirmed Everton's place in the 2022-23 Premier League campaign. They now have nothing left to play for but pride when they travel to north London on Sunday afternoon and that could be a big benefit to the Gunners.
