Yep, two from the much heralded newly re-opened Arsenal Comedy School of Defending.

Poor organisation and concentration for the first, no idea what Kola was doing and then Leno not brave enough for the second.

Disagree- I would have been very disappointed if we'd scored a goal like this and had it chalked off. He had every right to go for the ball and he had to stretch out to make contact.

Great start!!!! Aubameyang

And no VAR reversal. Yippee

Wow! 3-2 Pépé great cross Aubameyang excellent brave header.

Not disagreeing with the goal, I’m laughing at the turn of phrase used my the commentator.

Super tackle by Ceballos to stop a counterattack

Ah yes- you were. Sorry.

Ooer. Saka having a careless 5 minutes.

Arteta needs to make some changes to freshen things up

Wake up arsenal your going to blow this

Wow. Leno redeems himself with that save. Xhaka not helping the defence by playing all the attack onside.

Yes - Xhaka standing still with his arm in the air playing the forward onside!!

Özil playing well today, and Ceballos deserves his applause as he gets replaced.

Leno again.

And well away from the action so not actually contributing anyway.

Were going to blow it. My goodness we are frustrating to watch.

This is going to be a long long 10 minutes plus. We’ve gone to sleep.

This is getting a bit hairy.

Damn. Failed to take advantage of the Pickford gift.

Some of our passing in the second half has been lunacy

Oooooooohhhhhh. Heart in mouth time when Leno came rushing out

He did well though, bailing out yet another errant pass.

Nerve wracking

Oooooohhhhh yet again. Absent defence leaves Calvert-Lewin free to put it in our net. Fortunately he declined.

Sitter for Calvert-Lewin. Phew.

That was lucky.

Goodness we are hard to endure

3 points. A win. Somehow doesn’t quite feel like it.

The heady heights of 9th place.

Everton look a much improved side under Ancelotti. So this is a good win. Squeaky bum time at the end, but we held on just about.

Phew. Everton came on strong at the end. Would have been awful not to win that. Played well in parts but lost our way. Big win

I think they’d only lost to City before today under him

A precious 3 points but what on earth was that last half an hour all about?

You could have been excused for thinking Emery was still in charge such was the incompetence of our play in the second half.

Thank *%^@ for Aubameyang, that's all I can say.

They kept attacking from our right because Bellerin has lost his pace to get back. Mustafi bailed us out throughout the match. He has transformed into a reliable player

Thanks goodness for the substituition, we needed to freshen things up in the midfield.

Thanks Aubameyang!

Eddie did well!

Xhaka wasn't poor at all. He is moving the ball forward and faster. Kudos to Arteta for coaching him on this.

Leno saved us from dropping points

We're going to win the league (in 3 years)!

Mustafi morphs back and forth from solid to walking disaster more than any other player I've ever witnessed. He will end his Arsenal career (if it ever ends) being among the top outfield players with the most starts of his contemporaries.

Worth noting it was our 3rd game in a week whilst everton came in to the game off the back of a 2 week break due to the stupid staggered winter break.
All of the big teams have a lower average points tally for games immediately following European matches so every year for me games after Europe (when playing a team who hasn’t been in Europe) are all about just getting the 3 points.
If emery was still in charge I don’t think we’d have held out for the win.

Mustafi deserves credit. At present his place in the side is warranted. Nice also to hear the crowd chanting his name.

Yes note the very sudden drop off in Saka’s play. From unplayable and untackleable to suddenly much quieter and lots of mistakes. I thought he’s knackered and then the whole team looked the same. Makes a lot of sense. If it wasn’t for forced change I’d say change Eddie for Lacazette and let him have a blast, but Arteta put on Guendouzi instead with the clear remit to shut them down playing out from defence. Did work quite well.

Very good point. Well made and very relevant.

Just watched Saka’s cross again for Nketiah’s goal. Such a simple beauty about it all, pace past your man, early whipped cross in to the space between defence and gk for a striker who is gambling and half a yard quicker than the defence for the first time finish. Not a very Arsenal type goal

Absolutely. Worth everyone remembering it for when he next makes a mistake. Defenders will make mistakes. Mustafi was a big reason we didn’t concede the equaliser in the second half. So many clearances.

If you could get the Mustafi of the last 3 games for 95% of the time there is no need to get a new CB.
