Arsenal draw level with Manchester City after beating Everton, but Bukayo Saka faces up to eight weeks out

Arsenal's casualty list grew even in victory. Riccardo Calafiori disappeared down the tunnel with a 'slight issue', leaving Noni Madueke to deputise at left-back. Mikel Arteta admitted they were 'all scared' when Gabriel Magalhaes went down earlier. The defender shook it off and scored the second goal on his 200th appearance for the club.

A thigh injury to Saka may keep him sidelined for 13 games, among them fixtures against Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham.

Arteta said Saka was 'struggling to walk' and needed another MRI because of fluid in the area.

Ezri Konsa struck inside seven minutes to put Arsenal ahead in the 2-0 win.
