Arsenal picked a good place to showcase the determination, belief and class required to produce another Premier League title challenge. Mikel Arteta’s team were confronted by an obstinate Everton with zero ambition but one piercing move and stylish finish from the substitute Leandro Trossard sufficed for a first win at Goodison Park in almost six years.
It was another galling afternoon for Sean Dyche as his side succumbed to a third 1-0 defeat in three home matches this season. A struggling Everton have lost four of their opening five games for the first time since 2005-06 and the manager can be thankful that the wantaway owner Farhad Moshiri is unlikely to contemplate another change at the top.
