Everton v Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Trossard strike secures well-earned Arsenal win
Mikel Arteta’s men hope to move into the top four as Everton desperately need a win
Arsenal hope to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season as they travel to struggling Everton on Sunday afternoon.
Mikel Arteta’s are riding high after clinching a late victory over Manchester United in their last match before the international break to make it 10 points from their opening four matches and they’ll look to take that momentum into today’s encounter. Manchester, Liverpool and Tottenham are setting the early pace at the top of the table so it would be a big error if Arsenal were to drop points at Goodison Park.
Sean Dyche’s side, meanwhile, picked up their opening points of the season with a 2-2 away draw against Sheffield United. The Toffees won this fixture 1-0 last season in Dyche’s first game in charge and will be hoping for a repeat performance to kickstart their league campaign.

Everton 0-0 Arsenal
46 mins: CHANCE! Arsenal fly out the blocks in this second half. Vieira’s low ball across the box can’t find a man in a red shirt, but the ball eventually drops to Odegaard, whose fierce shot is straight at Pickford and the Everton keeper makes a good save.
Vieira blazes over from the rebound but Arsenal getting closer.
KICK-OFF! Everton 0-0 Arsenal
46 mins: We are back underway after the break. Let’s hope we get a goal at some point today...
HALF-TIME: Everton 0-0 Arsenal
HALF-TIME: Everton 0-0 Arsenal
Here’s the big moment of the first half as Gabriel Martinelli saw his effort ruled out.
Gary Neville certainly wasn’t convinced but it looks like the right decision was just about reached. What do you think?
HALF-TIME: Everton 0-0 Arsenal
Far from a classic so far at Goodison Park but Everton won’t mind as they head into the break still level at 0-0 against Arsenal.
Arteta’s side thought they had gone ahead when Martinelli found the back of the net after 19 minutes, but his goal was chalked off by VAR due to an offside in the build-up.
The Brazilian made way shortly after with an injury and, since there, it’s been a fairly drab affair with few big chances for either side.
Let’s hope for something better after the break...
Everton 0-0 Arsenal
45+2 mins: The first yellow card of the game is shown to Young after a poor challenge on Trossard.
Everton 0-0 Arsenal
45+1 mins: Into the first of four minutes of added time as Everton make their way up the pitch. A ball in from the left is controlled by McNeil, but his effort is blocked by the Arsenal defence inside the box.
Everton 0-0 Arsenal
43 mins: Another nice spell of possession and territory for the away side as we approach the break. Some neat combinations and quick, intricate moves put together but nothing in the way of meaningful attempts on goal, thus far, for Arteta’s side.
Everton 0-0 Arsenal
40 mins: Some nice combination play from Odegaard and White on the right edge of the penalty box. The Arsenal right-back eventually creates an avenue for a long-range effort, but it’s straight into the palms of Pickford in the Everton goal.
