Everton 1-0 Arsenal LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Everton vs Arsenal LIVE!

Everton leant heavily on their Burnley connection for a first win since October as Sean Dyche's reign as manager got off to the perfect start with a 1-0 win over Premier League leaders Arsenal.

The ex-Clarets boss insisted he did not have any "magic dust" to sprinkle on a struggling squad - the only one not to be strengthened by a January signing - but the effect he had was immediate as another former resident of Turf Moor James Tarkowski headed the winner on the hour.

It was the centre-back's first goal since joining from Burnley on a free in the summer - and his first since the opening day of last season - and ended a run of no wins in 10 matches in all competitions.

Defeat was Arsenal's first since September, and only their second in the league, and opened the door for Manchester City to close the five-point gap at Tottenham on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta gives his take to BT Sport

14:53 , Marc Mayo

“With the ball, we have to create much more than today.

“More composure, to control the game better emotionally, we were playing the game they wanted to play. We gave so many free-kicks away in the last ten minutes.

“This is the moment I have to be next to them. This is going to be tricky, we’ll have to react to disappointment, dig in and play better than we did today.”

Sean Dyche on BT Sport

14:45 , Marc Mayo

“The players are the focal point. Very honest in the week, they’ve taken a lot on and I thank them for that as it’s not easy.

“The minimum requirement is maximum effort and they certainly put that in today.

“You’ve got to win your battles and races, there was good feel of that. We can still improve but that comes with confidence and that usually comes with results.”

Great scenes at full time

14:38 , Marc Mayo

What a moment for Sean Dyche

A cracking atmosphere at Goodison

14:30 , Marc Mayo

It’s been a while since those home fans have seen a win and they’re loving this!

FULL TIME! Everton 1-0 Arsenal

14:27 , Marc Mayo

What a win for Sean Dyche!

Everton topple the league leaders on the new manager’s debut!

14:26 , Marc Mayo

90+7 mins: Maupay wins a foul in his own half and that might be that!

14:25 , Marc Mayo

90+6 mins: Both players booked as VAR has a second look. Not much in it, to be fair. Something of nothing.

14:25 , Marc Mayo

90+5 mins: Maupay, a proper Arsenal pantomine villain, tumbles with Zinchenko off the ball and we have a big pile-up of players.

David Coote looks on, bemused.

14:23 , Marc Mayo

90+4 mins: Smart stuff from Gana to steal a foul off Trossard. And he is in no rush to get back to his feet.

14:22 , Marc Mayo

90+2 mins: Arsenal try a smart corner routine, rolling it to Zinchenko in the D - and he volleys over!

14:20 , Marc Mayo

90+1 mins: Onana has been class today and carries the ball high upfield, eventually winning a throw in a good jostle with Saliba.

14:19 , Marc Mayo

90 mins: Tarkowski heads clear before a long Coleman punt. Everton, whisper it, are looking good for this win.

But, six minutes of stoppage time still to come as Zinchenko pings a hopeful hit wide.

14:18 , Marc Mayo

88 mins: Not much time left for Arsenal to create a big rally of pressure and Vieira tries to spark it by winning a corner on the byline.

14:16 , Marc Mayo

85 mins: Pickford booked for time wasting. He’s one away from a ban! That’s quite hard for a goalkeeper to manage...

14:14 , Marc Mayo

84 mins: Some might think Dyche will be happy with what he’s seen so far but the Everton boss is going bonkers on the touchline as Maupay scuffs a poor long-range shot wide.

The onus is on Arteta, however, who watches Nketiah punished by barging Tarkowski.

White off, Tomiyasu on.

14:11 , Marc Mayo

82 mins: Trossard next up to shoot... off target.

Dan Kilpatrick at Goodison Park

14:10 , Marc Mayo

Everton are tiring but you feel there will be chances for both sides in the final 10 minutes, as the game becomes stretched.

Interesting to see how Arsenal do without their crucial midfield two of Partey and Odegaard, who have both been subbed.

14:09 , Marc Mayo

80 mins: It isn’t looking like Arsenal’s day in front of goal!

Xhaka curls in a lovely cross from the left and Saka has time to take it down... and blaze high over the bar.

Ten minutes to go!

14:08 , Marc Mayo

78 mins: Trossard cuts inside and drives a powerful effort too close to Pickford - but it’s hot to handle and parried back into the danger area before Doucoure gets it clear.

14:06 , Marc Mayo

77 mins: Odegaard, on a rare off-day, is replaced by Vieira.

Everton chance!

14:05 , Marc Mayo

75 mins: Those corners again look threatening for Everton and Arsenal survive a mad scramble after a latest lob to the far post.

Not long left for the visitors to grab what would be a good point!

14:01 , Marc Mayo

71 mins: Arsenal building the pressure once again but Tarkowski finds it easy to beat Nketiah in the air for Trossard’s cross.

13:58 , Marc Mayo

69 mins: Onana a bit rash on White and that’s a yellow card.

13:57 , Marc Mayo

67 mins: Some fine defending from Everton as Arsenal look to pen them in, Coady with the latest big tackle in his own box.

13:55 , Marc Mayo

65 mins: Brilliant work by Gana to nick the ball off Nketiah’s run in the box and he’s cleaned out by a falling Gabriel.

VAR has a look at the Brazilian being pushed in the box by Maupay to create that foul... No penalty.

13:53 , Marc Mayo

62 mins: Maupay on for Calvert-Lewin straight after the goal.

Mykolenko booked for tripping Saka as Arsenal look for a way back into the game.

Dan Kilpatrick at Goodison Park

13:52 , Marc Mayo

Arsenal have tended to respond brilliantly to setbacks this season but this is a real test for Arteta’s young side. Goodison Park is rocking as the home fans sense a huge victory.

GGGGOOOOAAALLLLL!!!!! Everton 1-0 Arsenal

13:50 , Marc Mayo

60 mins: TARKOWSKI!!!

The former Burnley man heads the former Burnley boss’ first goal for the Toffees!

A corner swung in deep, which caused all sorts of problems in the first half, is buried as Tarkowski beats Odegaard in the air.

Arsenal chance!

13:48 , Marc Mayo

58 mins: The best chance of the half lands to Odegaard, centrally inside the box after great work by Nketiah, but he smacks it over!

Arteta calls for Trossard and Jorginho for Partey and Martinelli.

Dan Kilpatrick at Goodison Park

13:48 , Marc Mayo

Arsenal are playing with more zip since half-time and starting to find space in the final third. A succession of blocks means Pickford is still yet to really be tested but Arteta should be encouraged.

13:47 , Marc Mayo

57 mins: Everton break out and Iwobi’s decent cross is cleared to Mykolenko, who reminds us all why he’s a left-back by slashing a painful-looking half-volley miles over from 30 yards out.

Moving swiftly on...

13:45 , Marc Mayo

56 mins: A good spell for Arsenal, much snappier and smarter with their passing.

Everton holding firm and happy to pack the box with defenders when forced back.

13:43 , Marc Mayo

53 mins: Saliba loses out to Calvert-Lewin to open up an Everton counter but its well defended from there and Ramsdale’s goal is safe.

13:41 , Marc Mayo

51 mins: Much more like it for Arsenal as a smart piece of build-up leads to Xhaka slamming a shot into a crowd of players, well blocked.

A moment of promise for the league leaders.

13:39 , Marc Mayo

49 mins: Sloppy from McNeil in his own box and he’s lucky White’s touch carried it out for a goal kick or the Arsenal man would have been in on goal.

13:37 , Marc Mayo

47 mins: Doucoure latches onto a cross and has to awkwardly clip it back to an offside Calvert-Lewin, teeing up a deflected Gana shot which Ramsdale saves well with the flag up.

Second-half! Everton 0-0 Arsenal

13:35 , Marc Mayo

No changes from either manager.

Second-half coming up!

13:33 , Marc Mayo

The players are making their way back out onto the pitch.

Will either manager turn to their bench?

13:31 , Marc Mayo

Jorginho is not really a player for this game with Arsenal already dominant on the ball but just a little less sharp than Everton, in their running and physical duels.

Trossard could replace the quiet Martinelli but not yet.

As for Everton, Dyche will be asking for more of the same and likely keeping the likes of Demarai Gray back for later.

Stats check

13:27 , Marc Mayo

Eight shots to five in Everton’s favour during the first half with two on target apiece.

Arsenal dominating the ball with 75 per cent of possession but look dodgy at set pieces, with all four corners loaded up by the Toffees so far.

Dan Kilpatrick at Goodison Park

13:24 , Marc Mayo

Arsenal have been outplayed by a resurgent Everton but it remains goalless and you wonder if the Toffees can maintain this intensity.

Arteta has the harder team talk but will back his side to improve after the interval.

Half-time! Everton 0-0 Arsenal

13:19 , Marc Mayo

Lots of chances for both teams, Saka and Calvert-Lewin coming closest in an enthralling first half.

Everton chance!

13:18 , Marc Mayo

45+2 mins: Calvert-Lewin flicks a header wide from a great position!

13:16 , Marc Mayo

45 mins: Three minutes added on after that earlier Saka injury.

13:13 , Marc Mayo

42 mins: Everton unhappy as Gana’s hand catches Martinelli in the face and the Gunners have a good position for a free-kick...

Swung in towards Xhaka, his flick goes harmlessly over.

Arsenal chance!

13:10 , Marc Mayo

39 mins: COADY OFF THE LINE!

A howitzer cross from Zinchenko finds a delightfully controlled shot on the volley from Saka and the Everton defender is there to slice it clear.

The moment of the game so far

13:09 , Marc Mayo

Dan Kilpatrick at Goodison Park

13:07 , Marc Mayo

The last time I watched Arsenal live in a big away game, they were battered at Leeds in October but somehow came away with a 1-0 win.

Will it be a similar story today? You feel Everton may lived to regret not turning their dominance into a goal given Arsenal’s quality.

Everton chance!

13:05 , Marc Mayo

34 mins: Another massive opening as Saliba slips and Doucoure has a free header eight yards out...

Tamely nodded wide!

Everton chance!

13:04 , Marc Mayo

33 mins: HOW IS IT NOT 1-0?!

Onana bombs down the left flank after picking Odegaard’s pocket and his low cross is begging for Calvert-Lewin... who is just behind the ball to finish it off.

Arsenal chance!

13:01 , Marc Mayo

31 mins: Saka does brilliantly to beat Mykolenko in a physical battle and Nketiah rolls towards the near post before hammering a shot, far too powerfully, over the bar.

Best chance of the game.

13:00 , Marc Mayo

30 mins: A quiet opening half hour for Nketiah and a heavy touch allows Coady to mop up his dart into the box.

Dan Kilpatrick at Goodison Park

12:57 , Marc Mayo

Arsenal have stood up to everything Everton have thrown at them so far, including four corners in quick succession, but this does increasingly feel like a test of their defensive resolve.

The Toffees are visibly growing in confidence and backed by a raucous Goodison.

12:56 , Marc Mayo

26 mins: Calvert-Lewin’s snapshot is well held by Ramsdale and Arsenal play their way into trouble, allowing Onana to hook an ambitious attempt goalwards.

The goalkeeper gathers easily.

12:56 , Marc Mayo

25 mins: Saka, still harshly being booed, looks to forge a chance by Everton’s corner flag but concedes a throw with an unfortuitous bounce of the ball.

Arsenal starting to look a little ragged.

12:53 , Marc Mayo

23 mins: Iwobi goes to the near-post with Everton’s latest corner and Calvert-Lewin flicks it over the bar.

12:52 , Marc Mayo

21 mins: Deep again by Iwobi and Tarkowski heads it down for another corner off Saliba.

Real issues for Arsenal from set plays.

12:51 , Marc Mayo

20 mins: Saliba nods a dangerous Iwobi cross out for a corner and the Gunners have to deal with a bit of pressure.

McNeil’s in-swinger is deep and headed just wide as Onana looked to bury it! Another corner...

12:49 , Marc Mayo

18 mins: Saka back on and taking some unfair booing from the home fans as he gets on the ball.

Dan Kilpatrick at Goodison Park

12:48 , Marc Mayo

This is an engaging game, albeit lacking chances. Arsenal are looking for a cute angle to get behind Everton while the hosts are full of purpose in transition but similarly short of a cutting edge.

Both sets of fans doing their bit, too.

12:47 , Marc Mayo

17 mins: Actually a bit of an issue for Arsenal as Saka looked to have taken an accidental finger in the eye.

12:46 , Marc Mayo

15 mins: Just 27 per cent possession for Everton so far but they are making good use of it, attacking direct and using the full width of the pitch.

A foul stops a bit of momentum though, Gana leaving a bit on Saka.

12:42 , Marc Mayo

12 mins: Saka is looking a threat early on and, at the second attempt, he tees up Partey for a long-distance whack.

Pickford is behind it and palms the shot down before landing on it.

Everton chance!

12:40 , Marc Mayo

9 mins: McNeil unleashes an attempt from 20 yards and it deflects kindly for Calvert-Lewin... but Arsenal scramble it clear!

The offside flag goes up but Arsenal play on and counter, with the home fans right up for this one again.

12:38 , Marc Mayo

7 mins: Plane banner alert!

Overhead, a message reading “world’s worst run football club” flies across the Goodison skies.

We’re in that kind of territory...

12:37 , Marc Mayo

6 mins: A clash of heads between Saliba and Onana leaves the Everton man worse off. So, a break in play.

Dan Kilpatrick at Goodison Park

12:37 , Marc Mayo

After the protests outside the ground, Everton fans are getting behind their side in it.

Every tackle is being met with roars of approval, and there was a raucous reception for new manager Sean Dyche when he was introduced ahead of kick-off.

12:36 , Marc Mayo

5 mins: Everton sitting deep off the ball with a bank of five almost due to Zinchenko dragging McNeil back on the left flank.

Every challenge thrown in by a home player gets a big cheer as they look for some inspiration.

12:34 , Marc Mayo

3 mins: First moment of Everton threat as Iwobi looks to feed Calvert-Lewin in the box but his pass is overhit and Arsenal win the eventual high ball pumped forwards.

12:32 , Marc Mayo

1 min: A 4-4-1-1 for Everton with Onana just off Calvert-Lewin.

Arteta has his typical 4-3-3 and Arsenal look to calm the crowd down with an early spell on the ball, punctured by Mykolenko downing Odegaard.

Kick-off!

12:31 , Marc Mayo

Everton vs Arsenal begins for the Premier League lunchtime game.

A big cheer for Sean Dyche’s announcement

12:30 , Marc Mayo

He may not have been many fans’ first choice but this is their lot, time to make the best of it.

Here come the players!

12:27 , Marc Mayo

A new era is about to begin on Merseyside and it’s the league leaders first up in the next stage of their fight against the drop...

Kick-off is next!

Atmosphere finally building

12:26 , Marc Mayo

Everton fans have vowed to fully back Sean Dyche’s men on the pitch and Goodison is kicking up the volume as the players begin to line up in the tunnel.

Let’s get down to business

12:21 , Marc Mayo

Everton vs Arsenal is only ten minutes away!

Mikel Arteta explains his selection to BT Sport

12:17 , Marc Mayo

“We’ve had a really good window but now we focus on the game.

“Thomas trained well yesterday, he felt good but we have very good options on the bench as well.

“It’s always tough, we haven’t got a great record here in the past few years so we have to put that to bed.”

Countdown to kick-off

12:14 , Marc Mayo

A truly intriguing match-up to continue this big weekend of sport is only 15 minutes away from kick-off.

Everton fan protest

12:09 , Marc Mayo

Lots of banners against owner Farhad Moshiri, chairman Bill Kenwright and chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale inside and outside the ground today.

A “peaceful sit-in” is also planned for post-match.

Arsenal chasing history

12:04 , Marc Mayo

No English league club has claimed 100 wins over another since organised football began in this country.

Until today? Arsenal have 99 league wins against Everton in 202 matches... can they make it a century today?

11:49 , Marc Mayo

Back to normal for Arsenal

11:45 , Marc Mayo

No Jorginho in the starting XI with the Gunners able to call upon Thomas Partey following a rib injury.

Seven changes from the FA Cup but, Gabriel Jesus aside, this is Mikel Arteta’s strongest and most reliable line-up.

Sean Dyche talks to BT Sport as Everton fans begin pre-game protest

11:41 , Marc Mayo

“All I’ve asked is to embrace the past and move forward with the future. The foundation of the club is the fans and they love and care for the club.

“It’s easy to love and care when it’s going well but now we need it now more than ever.

“I’ve got to earn their respect.”

Right then, team news time!

Arsenal check in

11:25 , Marc Mayo

No sign of Thomas Partey in this particular shot of players getting off the team bus, he’s the big injury doubt for the Gunners today.

Countdown to kick-off

11:20 , Marc Mayo

We are expecting team news in around ten minutes’ time.

Already clocking in at Goodison are the Everton squad with recent Arsenal target Amadou Onana pictured making his way into the dressing room.

Sean Dyche writes open letter to Everton fans

11:16 , Marc Mayo

The new Everton boss attempted to rally his fans ahead of today’s game.

In a lengthy open letter, Sean Dyche wrote: “I want us to play with style but an effective style. We need to mix our play and ask questions of the opposition. We also want to add quality to our hard work.

“If we do that, we will get our supporters on board. I’ve experienced Goodison bursting at the seams when the energy is so powerful and it makes such a difference. There’s nothing better than a player going out on the pitch and knowing their fans are behind them.

“We are fortunate to have that from Evertonians. It’s up to us to do our part to show we are giving everything so we can build your respect and join together in order to move forwards.”

ICYMI: Martinelli signs on

11:09 , Marc Mayo

Arsenal confirmed a new contract for Gabriel Martinelli in the week, securing his future to 2027 with the option of a further 12 months.

Mikel Arteta said: “Our supporters see his quality and energy every single time he puts on the shirt and he’s the same every day in training, with his hard work and positive values.”
