Dominant Arsenal scored once in each half to defeat Everton 2-0 in the English Premier League on Saturday.

The EPL champions were dominant to take apart Everton at the Emirates with goals from defenders Ezri Konsa and Gabriel Magalhaes.

The Gunners took the lead on seven minutes from a corner kick delivery, Konsa arrived to slot home the loose ball at the back post. It is Arsenal’s first goal from set piece this season.

Mikel Arteta’s side controlled proceedings and had to wait until the second half to seal the win on 68 minutes.

It arrived after a crisp passing sequence that ended with Ben White crossing for Gabriel to head beyond Jordan Pickford.

The Brazilian who is the highest-scoring EPL defender since he joined Arsenal, scores on his 200th Gunners appearance.

The win ensured Arsenal extended their unbeaten run at home to 11 matches, while Everton suffered a first away league defeat this season. They are now joint-top of the league on 21 points with Manchester City who lost 2-1 at Aston Villa.

The Cityzens were put to the sword by Nicholas Jackson’s brace, the former Chelsea defending scoring once in each half. Erling Haaland’s goal briefly drew City level, but Enzo Maresca’s side lost their first league match of the season.
