Everton gifted first win at Arsenal since 1996 Lyndon Lloyd Friday, 23 April, 2021
Arsenal 0 - 1 Everton Richarlison forced the decisive goal as Bernd Leno allowed his attempted centre to squirm through his legs to give Everton their first ever win at the Emirates
Everton won at Arsenal for the first time in 25 years to move back into European contention but it took a dreadful error by Bernd Leno and a terrific save by Jordan Pickford to push them over the line after another bafflingly lethargic performance.
The game had settled into an increasingly frustrating stalemate with a quarter of an hour to go when Richarlison s low cross squirmed through the keeper s legs and in to provide the platform from which Carlo Ancelotti s side were able to grind out a first win in six matches.
Farcical goal seals undeserved historic win for Carlo Fantastico Holgate keeping his place is a joke. Dave Abrahams 3 Posted 23/04/2021 at 19:08:30 Moss will be made up with Evertons midfield, hell have no trouble keeping up with them. Danny Broderick 4 Posted 23/04/2021 at 19:10:43 Looks like 4-2-3-1 to me. Seems reasonably balanced, I m not convinced about Sigurdsson and Rodriguez in the same team though. For all of our best games at the start of the season, Sigurdsson was in the bench.
Let s wait and see anyway. I m guessing Saka is at left back for them, their team doesn t look great to me.
Don t show me this message again✕
Bernd Leno, right, watches his own goal cross the line (PA)
Perhaps it was fitting in a week which exposed the greed of six English clubs that one of them would fall to another calamitous misjudgement, against one of the teams who might be most aggrieved by the European Super League cabal.
A Bernd Leno own goal gave Everton the win over Arsenal, an on-field retaliation after off-field swings from the Toffees. One pronounced on a number of fronts, such as being their first victory away to Arsenal since January 1996, thus their first-ever win at the Emirates Stadium making this the first time Everton have done the double over their opponents (having won 2-1 at Goodison Park in December) since the 1985/86 season.
Sometimes it Doesn t Matter How They Go In
In the Premier League era, this fixture has ranked up there among the most miserable on Everton’s calendar. So forgive Evertonians for revelling in a first win at Arsenal since 1996, one that provides another platform from which to resume the push for Europe
In the Premier League era, this fixture has ranked up there among the most miserable on Everton’s calendar. They suffered their worst defeat since Sky invented football in 1992 on the Gunners’ home turf, that horrible
7-0 humiliation at Highbury 16 years ago, and Blues sides have been on the end of some depressingly heavy score lines in this part of North London down the years.
