Premier League: Arsenal outclass Everton and join Manchester City at the top
Arsenal reacted perfectly after their draw against Bayern Munich (2-2) in the Champions League. Back at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners took the lead in the 7th minute thanks to Ezri Konsa, at the conclusion of an action from a corner.
For this meeting against Everton, Mikel Arteta notably chose to start Viktor Gyökeres up front and Eberechi Eze on the left side, while Noni Madueke occupied the right flank after Bukayo Saka's injury against Bayern. For his part, despite an interesting start to the season, Frenchman Thierno Barry failed to make the difference against the solidity of London.
Gabriel Magalhães then doubled the lead in the 68th minute from a cross from Ben White, putting Arsenal two goals ahead. With Manchester City's defeat against Aston Villa (2-1) this Saturday, Arteta's men join the Citizens with 21 points after eight days.
In the other meeting, Fulham won a valuable victory on the Coventry pitch (0-1), at the end of a long undecided match. While the two teams were struggling to decide between themselves, Oscar Bobb, starting on the right wing of the London attack, turned the match around by scoring the only goal in the 80th minute.
An important success for Álvaro Arbeloa's men, who performed well in the standings by moving up to 12th place. However, the situation is much more worrying for Coventry: beaten at home, the club coached by Frank Lampard slips to 19th position and sinks into the red zone.
