Arsenal move level with Manchester City at the top after Ezri Konsa and Gabriel sink Everton 2-0

From the Newshound archive · first published 25 October 2026.

Arsenal's opening goal came when Ezri Konsa powered home from a set piece — his first for the club. Gabriel Magalhães added a second midway through the second half to complete the victory. City's earlier defeat to Aston Villa had already created the opportunity for Mikel Arteta's side to pull level at the top. David Moyes was making his 14th visit to the ground and had to manage without Jarrad Branthwaite or Jack Grealish.

Riccardo Calafiori picked up a 'slight issue' ahead of Tuesday's Carabao Cup tie with Fleetwood.

Martin Keown says one Arsenal star is already a 'club legend' after the win.

Everton arrived having won just twice in 35 matches at Arsenal's ground.
