LEANDRO TROSSARD’S second-half strike was enough to beat an insipid Toffees side in front of 39,217 fans at Goodison Park on Sunday.

It was a grey afternoon for the blue half of Merseyside in more ways than one, as the Gunners’ Belgian international broke the deadlock after a six-man move in the 69th minute against an obdurate, if limited home side.

While the pre-match discussion may have been about boss Mikel Arteta’s decision to promote David Raya to become his No1 keeper, usurping previous incumbent Aaron Ramsdale, Trossard, the former Brighton attacker, ensured the day ended with renewed talk about Arsenal’s title chances, as the Gunners eased back into the top four.
