Arsenal put an end to their six-year-long winless streak at Everton when Leandro Trossard’s goal secured a 1-0 victory for the Gunners on Sunday.
Despite a challenging match at Goodison Park, Mikel Arteta’s team matched Everton’s physical style to earn their first win at the venue since 2017.
Arsenal, though not in their best form, secured their fourth win in five games this season. Arteta had emphasized the need for his players to give their all to break the Everton curse, and they delivered on that promise.
This win followed a late victory against Manchester United before the international break, adding to the tension of the match.
Trossard’s crucial goal propelled Arsenal into fourth place in the league, just two points behind leaders Manchester City, as they aim to make amends for last season’s late title race collapse.
On the other hand, Everton, still winless, find themselves in the relegation zone, setting the stage for another tough battle to avoid relegation after narrowly escaping it in the past two seasons.
