Arsenal grind out precious Everton win but injury concerns mount as Arteta confirms multiple fitness worries

Gabriel Magalhaes fell to the ground holding his right knee early in the second half, but recovered to head home from Ben White's cross on 68 minutes — his 200th appearance for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta said 'we were all scared' when the Brazilian went down signalling for assistance. Martin Keown described him as 'just a machine' on Match of the Day. The 2-0 victory draws Arsenal level with Manchester City on 21 points.

Ezri Konsa, who joined in the summer, got his first Arsenal goal seven minutes into the match to put his side ahead.

Video filmed by supporters shows Declan Rice holding his hamstring before he was withdrawn in the 80th minute.

Arteta confirmed that Riccardo Calafiori suffered a 'slight issue' towards the end of the game.
