    Highlights from the Premier League match between Arsenal and Everton.

    Champions Arsenal capitalised on Manchester City’s defeat at Aston Villa to move level on points with the Premier League leaders by comfortably beating Everton 2-0 at a rain-soaked Emirates Stadium.

    Ezri Konsa poked in at the back post after seven minutes to score a scrappy first goal for the club and end Arsenal's wait for a first non-penalty set-piece goal of the season before Gabriel's second-half header sealed the win on his 200th Premier League appearance.

    Arsenal, buoyed by the news of City's first league defeat this season, were as relentless as the north London rain as they made it seven wins from eight in the league to keep up with their rivals on 21 points, behind only on goal difference.

    Team news

    • Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino were handed their first Premier League starts of the season as Arsenal made four changes from the 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
    • Everton were without Jarrad Branthwaite (concussion protocol) and Jack Grealish (sickness).

    Viktor Gyokeres, handed his first league start of the season, failed to get off the mark for the campaign but was credited with the assist for Konsa's opener, making it two from two after setting up Declan Rice's equaliser in Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich.

    Everton, now winless in 14 league trips to Arsenal, were handed a big chance to equalise at 1-0 just before half-time but Thierno Barry failed to make the most of Ben White's weak headed back pass to goalkeeper David Raya.

    David Moyes' depleted side, without Jack Grealish and Jarrad Branthwaite at Arsenal, were unbeaten in the league until last weekend, but have now suffered back-to-back defeats and remain without an away win in the competition after the fourth attempt.
