Arsenal returned to Premier League action with a 2–0 win over Everton to move level with leaders Manchester City, who surprisingly lost to Aston Villa earlier in the day.
Any early concerns about a Champions League hangover, only three days removed from a titanic battle in Munich, were soon erased when Ezri Konsa turned the ball in following a corner. Everton managed to keep the initial effort out, as Ben White and Gabriel both attacked the initial in-swinging delivery at the near post. But Konsa was in the right place at the right time at the far post to prod the ball over the line from no more than a yard out.
