Arteta admits he was 'scared' for Gabriel minutes before the defender's goal sealed a 2-0 win over Everton

Gabriel Magalhaes lay stricken after stretching for a clearance, prompting Mikel Arteta to prepare a replacement. The Brazilian waved away the concern and converted Ben White's cross on 68 minutes, on his 200th appearance for the club. Ezri Konsa had broken the deadlock after seven minutes. The victory draws Arsenal level on points with leaders Manchester City, who were beaten by Aston Villa earlier in the day.

Riccardo Calafiori headed straight for the dressing room with a 'slight issue', leaving Noni Madueke to fill in at left-back.

Arsenal fear Bukayo Saka could miss six to eight weeks with a thigh injury.

Arteta on Gabriel: 'We know Gabi and how tough and strong he is.'
