Everton vs Arsenal final score, result as Trossard gives Gunners battling win

Leandro Trossard netted a picture-perfect winner after the midway point of the second half to give Arsenal a hard-fought 1-0 victory over struggling Everton.

Mikel Arteta sprung a selection surprise as David Raya was preferred to Aaron Ramsdale in goal although Everton’s minimal attacking threat gave the former Brentford No. 1 little to do.

The Gunners thought they had a first-half lead at Goodison Park before a VAR review showed Eddie Nketiah was offside in the build-up before Gabriel Martinelli steered a fine finish beyond Jordan Pickford.

Martinelli departed through injury shortly afterwards, with Trossard entering the fray as his replacement. In the 69th minute, the Belgium international dispatched Bukayo Saka’s cutback from a wonderfully worked short corner.

The win means Arsenal move onto 13 points from five matches, in a group of three alongside Tottenham and Liverpool who are two points behind champions Manchester City at the summit.

By contrast, Everton have a solitary point from five outings and, amid a background of off-field tumult, Sean Dyche’s limited and unambitious team look all set for a season of grim struggle.

Everton vs Arsenal as it happened, highlights, and commentary

Fulltime: The Arsenal players take the plaudits form a vocal away contingent. For Everton, it’s more misery. Some home fans boo the officials, presumably for not adding on more time at the end. Given how dour and unimaginative the home team’s football was, I’d venture they could have played all evening with nothing to show for their toil. Arsenal are level on 13 points with Liverpool and Tottenham, two points behind Manchester City at the summit.

90th minute+4: Fans are streaming out of the ground. It’s only 1-0 so that says plenty about the sort of attacking threat Everton have supplied. Jesus wins a corner and that should be that.

90th minute+1: There will only be four minutes of added time. Not a popular call with the Goodison faithful or Sean Dyche.

90th minute: Patterson drives into midfield and finds Calvert-Lewin, whose prod across goal is neither a shot to test Raya or a cross to bring Chermiti into play.

88th minute: Chermiti and Patterson are on for Everton, who have a free-kick on halfway. Pickford launches it into the Arsenal boss, Raya claims it and Tarkowski fouls him. I’m afraid that’s just rubbish.

85th minute: Trossard and Havertz combine and the latter’s teasing cross floats just over Pickford’s crossbar. The England goalkeeper didn’t seem entirely sure about that.

80th minute: Tomiyasu replaces Zinchenko, with Havertz on in place of Vieira. Those two have been among Arsenal’s better performers today. Garner is on for Everton with Doucoure making way.

77th minute: Spaces starting to appear now, with Odegaard storming clear. Pickford saves well and Vieira’s attempt on the rebound is blocked.

76th minute: Gabriel spots a yawning gap at the heart of the Everton defence and pumps the ball long towards Jesus. Mykolenko gets back well to pick his pocket from left-back. At the other end, Gueye sends the latest speculative Everton shot into the stand.

69th minuteGOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Leandro Trossard!!!!!!

Arsenal take this corner short and that’s beautifully worked. Rice and Zinchenko get the ball to Rice back out on the right. He slips a ball into the channel for Saka and his cutback finds Trossard for a wonderful first-time finish across Pickford and in off the inside of the far post.

68th minute: Saka versus Onana this time and another corner.

67th minute: Danjuma gets off a speculative shot from range after the first punt forward in Calvert-Lewin’s direction. Up the other end, Saka wins a corner off Mykolenko but it causes Everton negligible problems.

65th minute: Arsenal also changing their centre-forward, with Jesus on for Nketiah. Beto makes way for Calvert Lewin.

62nd minute: We’re into the final half hour and Dominic Calvert-Lewin is about to enter the fray for Everton. Dyche sensing this one is up for grabs.

59th minute: It looks like there’s some activity on the Arsenal bench as the visitors have a couple of corners. From the second, Zinchenko lets from from range. Again it strikes Tarkowski on the arm and there’s no punishment. The Everton man was outside the box on this occasion in any case.

58th minute: Rice snaps in to get to dispossess Doucoure and plays in Nketiah. The striker’s touch takes him wide and that allows Tarkowski to block his eventual shot behind.

56th minute: Zinchenko’s passing from left-back has been one of the few pleasing aspects of this game. He releases Trossard but no Arsenal player can convert the resulting low cross.

54th minute: Saka’s cross towards Trossard at the back post is nodded back across goal, where Tarkowski does well to shepherd it away from Nketiah.

50th minute: Zinchenko lines up a shot form outside the box. Tarkowski blocks as the ball strikes his arms directly in front of his body. That’ll be no penalty.

48th minute: Arsenal see out the danger, the ball comes back in from deep and Onana fouls White. Everton waste a rare moment inside the opposition half.

47th minute: A coming together between Beto and Gabriel sees the Arsenal man booked. Young will pump this free-kick into the box.

46th minute: Off we go again, with Arsenal straight back on the front foot. Zinchenko gets around the outside and Tarkowski heads clear. Now Vieira drills a low ball across goal with no one to convert. The attack stays alive and Rice passed to Odegaard, whose rasping attempt is repelled by Pickford.

Halftime: It remains goalless at the break and Mikel Arteta has work today. Arsenal look like they’re being dragged into exactly the sort of attritional battle that has led to them being winless on their past five visits to this ground. The key moments came in the middle of the half, with Martinelli’s goal disallowed for a marginal and debatable offside before the Brazil winger departed through injury. From that point, the Gunners did not rediscover their impressive early rhythm. 

45th minute+1: In the first of four minutes of injury time, McNeil gets on the end of Gueye’s cross and Saliba makes the block. After an insipid start from his team, Sean Dyche might just be the happier of the two managers when the halftime whistle goes.

44th minute: Wonderful ball in behind from Zinchenko and Vieira finds the run to match. The Portuguese midfielder’s pull-back from the left is not up to a similar standard.

38th minute: Everton have managed to turn this into the sort of scrappy tussle they want since the half hour. Mykolenko goes in very late on Saka and Arsenal aren’t happy. They mustn’t lose their heads. 

31st minute: Doucoure bursts into the Arsenal box and goes to ground. That’s absolutely not a penalty. Arsenal don’t fully clear the danger and Gueye fires in a shot from distance to give Raya a routine save.

26th minute: Saka and White combine down the right and Rice has a shot blocked by Branthwaite. A follow-up cross is too deep and Everton breath again.

24th minuteIt goes from bad to worse for Martinelli who is forced off through injury. Trossard is on in his place.

20th minuteArsenal think they have the lead but VAR intervenes. Martinelli opened up his body for an excellent finish across Pickford following Vieira’s slide-rule pass. However, Nketiah was adjudged to be offside when he retrieved Gabriel’s initial punt forward. Everton got away with one there, with their line ambling out and Mykolenko very close to playing Nketiah onside.

16th minute: Nketiah is caught offside, giving Everton a little bit of respite. The hosts are snapping into challenges pleasingly, but the ball is generally coming straight back. There’s a lack of composure or quality in possession from Dyche’s men.

12th minute: Branthwaite is caught out, playing a back pass to Pickford and not noticing Nketiah’s run. A week or so on the same training pitches for England doesn’t stop the Arsenal striker clattering into the Everton goalkeeper. That’s a free-kick.

9th minute: Nervy moments for Everton, who are being penned in here. Young tries to clear a corner and only succeeds in booting it against a teammate for another one. The Gunners work this one short and Vieira ends up with space to shoot, skying wastefully into the Gwladys Street End.

4th minute: Delightful backheel from Nketiah looking for Odegaard in the Everton box but Branthwaite reads it well.

3rd minute: Arsenal have started nicely here and McNeil is forced to head Zinchenko’s cross behind for a corner. Tarkowski, the match-winner in this fixture last year, gets up for a towering clearance.

2nd minute: Young steps in to clip the wings of a crisp Arsenal passing move. Everton look to break and Vieira intercepts smartly in midfield. That will settle him down.

1st minute: Eddie Nketiah gets us underway.

5 mins to kickoff: Z-Cars pipe up and here come the team to a throaty Goodison roar. There will be a moment’s silence in memory of the victims of the recent tragedies in Morocco and Libya. 

15 mins to kickoff: Arteta has been speaking to Sky Sports about his selection decision in goal, with a busy week including Arsenal’s Champions League return and a North London Derby seemingly prominent in his thinking.

I think I mentioned it that we wanted to build a squad with two quality players in each position, with different characteristics, and we have got that now.

And to maximise that they have to play games, and we have a lot of things coming up now.

And we have the same with other players we have rotated and there will be a lot of game-time in the next few weeks.

35 mins to kickoff: Arteta flagged that this was going to happen once he had two goalkeepers of Ramsdale and Raya’s quality and declared he did not have an outright No.1. Still, it feels shocking to see Ramsdale ditched after starting 52 consecutive Premier League games. Indeed, since signing he has played 76 of the Gunners’ 79 top-flight matches. He is one of the faces of their rebirth under Arteta. It’s a huge call, especially at an expectedly hostile Goodison Park where Sean Dyche’s Everton will not be shy when it comes to pumping balls into the box.

55 mins to kickoff: Two changes for Everton, with Dwight McNeil and Vitaliy Mykolenko set to combine down the left. Striker Beto gets a home debut, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin back among the replacements.

1 hour to kickoff: The teams are in and Arteta has made a big call, selecting David Raya in goal and dropping Aaron Ramsdale to the bench. Fabio Vieira gets his first start of the season in midfield, meaning Kai Havertz has to be content with a place among the substitutes. Gabriel Jesus is also on the bench after his goalscoring cameo against Manchester United, with Eddie Nketiah leading the line once more.

1 hr 20 mins prior to kickoff: Team news will be with us shortly. After early season experimentation yielded mixed results, Mikel Arteta went back to the formula that underpinned Arsenal’s success last season for the 3-1 win over Manchester United. Ben White, Gabriel, William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko in the defence, a single holder behind two central midfielders and Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli either side of the central striker.  If Arteta opts for more of the same at Goodison, it would certainly go down well with the travelling support.

1 hr 40 mins prior to kickoff: Given this is only the fifth game of the season for both sides, the distance between top and bottom in the Premier League is pretty vast. Arsenal need a win to draw level on 13 points with Liverpool and Tottenham, who are two points behind Manchester City. The defending champions have the only remaining 100% record. Well, if we’re talking about wins. Burnley and Luton are pointless in three and four games respectively, with Everton and Sheffield United on one apiece on account of the 2-2 draw the shared at Bramall Lane before the international break.
