Arsenal saw off a resilient Everton to go top of the English Premier League. Naijaballers reports.
Striker Olivier Giroud returned to the starting line-up after the heroics against Bayern in the Champions League.
The Frenchman fired the gunners to a lead when he was at the end of a perfect cross from Mesut Ozil.
The home team doubled the advantage almost immediately. Laurent Koscielny scored a bullet header from a free kick.
Everton were back into the game before half time when Ross Barkley shot from the edge of the box was deflected into the net.
Mesut Ozil, Giroud and Romelu Lukaku all hit the post in the second half. While Gareth Barry was sent off late on after picking up two yellow cards.
But Arsene Wenger’s men held on to secure the win, though much to the fantastic display between the sticks by Petr Cech.
