Arteta has two beasts

Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 with goals from defenders Konsa and Gabriel to draw level with Manchester City on 21 points at the top of the Premier League.

Arsenal moved level with Manchester City at the summit of the Premier League after a 2-0 victory over Everton at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners' defensive prowess was on full display, with centre-backs Ezri Konsa and Gabriel scoring the goals that extended their unbeaten run.

Konsa opened the scoring in the seventh minute from a set-piece, Arsenal's first goal from a dead ball in the Premier League this season. Gabriel doubled the lead in the 69th minute with a header from Ben White's cross, though the Brazilian defender had earlier suffered a scare when he appeared to injure his knee but was able to continue.

Mikel Merino started for Arsenal in midfield, while Martín Zubimendi came off the bench in the final ten minutes but suffered a heavy blow to the nose shortly after entering the pitch. The victory marked Arsenal's seventh win in eight league matches, keeping them in contention at the top of the table.
