The Gunners beat Everton 2-0 thanks to goals from their central defenders, Ezri Konsa and Gabriel.
AI-generated summary
Arsenal are the reigning Premier League champions. The club won seven of its first eight matches of the season.
In the London rain, the Gunners did the job against Everton (2-0) on Saturday to sign their seventh victory in eight days. This success without a goal conceded bears the seal of Ezri Konsa (7th) and Gabriel (69th), the two partners in central defense, both scorers.
Arsenal are full of confidence ahead of Liverpool
The first appeared at the far post to take a corner poorly cleared by the Everton defense, scoring the Gunners' first goal this season from a set piece (excluding penalties). The second perfectly took over a cross from Ben White.
It looks like a routine victory for the defending champions, even if they had to take a few shots from opponents. There was this ball cleared by Gabriel in front of the goal line (17th), this bad back pass from White on which Thierno Barry threw himself, in vain (44th), or even this header from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall passed just wide (83rd). Despite these warnings, Arsenal signed their fifth victory without conceding a goal in the league.
The level of adversity will rise next weekend with a difficult trip to Liverpool. Saturday ends with a London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham.
