Comments:

League position: 7th This was Everton's second win in their last 12 games in all competitions. The Toffees remained as one of only three teams with an unbeaten home record so far in this Premier League season along with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. They had now recovered 11 points from losing positions so far in this Premier League; more than any other team. Seamus Coleman had now scored in two of his last three Premier League appearances at Goodison Park. Ashley Williams scored his first Premier League goal for Everton in his 15th appearance. His last goal prior to this was also a winner, for Swansea City at Arsenal on 2 March 2016. Phil Jagielka was shown a second yellow card and sent off in the third minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 2nd With their first defeat in their last 15 Premier League games, Arsenal lost the last unbeaten away record in this season's Premier League. Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring for the fifth time in this Premier League season; more than any other player. This was the first time that the Gunners had lost a Premier League game played on a Tuesday since 14 February 2006 in a 0-1 defeat at Liverpool.
