Arsenal have seen their Premier League title chances boosted after a tough weekend for those involved in the clash at the top of the table. The Gunners would have feared the worst upon leaving Merseyside on Saturday afternoon as Sean Dyche's first game as Everton boss ended with the Toffees earning a huge win.
James Tarkowski's towering header from a corner gave them the one and only goal in the clash as the north London outfit struggled to break down their opposition. It was just the second league defeat suffered by Arsenal this campaign, but any slip opens up the possibility of change in the table.
Discussing the issues after the game, Mikel Arteta told reporters: "From our side disappointment because we didn’t get the result that we wanted and the performance doesn’t reflect what we’ve been doing especially in two phases – one, when they were really direct and we struggled to control that type of game and get back to the game that we wanted to play, and then with the amount of open situations that we generated in the final third that has to finish with goals and clear cut chances more than we’ve done today."
