Gabriel Martinelli scored two goals in one of his team’s biggest wins of the season as Arsenal defeated Everton 4-0 on Wednesday to increase its lead in the Premier League to five points.
Everton beat Arsenal 1-0 at home on February 4 to stun the leaders, but they couldn’t match that performance at Emirates Stadium.
Where Bukayo Saka scored in the 40th minute with a rising shot from a tight angle that went into the net’s roof.
In the first minute of first-half extra time, the England winger provided by picking the ball up from Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye and passing it to Martinelli, who scored low.
In the 71st, Martin Odegaard converted a cutback from Leandro Trossard, and in the 80th, Martinelli added a fourth to cap a dominant performance from Mikel Arteta’s team.
He has now played the same number of games as Manchester City, which is currently in second place, with 25 out of a total of 38.
Arsenal has won three straight games to overcome a blip in which the team collected just one point out of a possible nine.
Including a loss to City. Only the 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in October was better in terms of the margin of victory.
“An assertion we’re here and need to keep on doing this,” said Arteta, whose group is offering to win the association interestingly beginning around 2004.
According to Arteta, Saka’s opening goal was crucial to the victory because it came at a time when Arsenal and its supporters were becoming frustrated against an Everton team that was hitting on the counterattack and defending in numbers.
Arteta stated, “Once we scored the first goal, the game was unlocked.” Bukayo created the magical moment we needed. We developed thereafter and deserved to win the game.
Under new manager Sean Dyche, Everton has lost three of its last four games and remained in the relegation zone in third place.
Compared to the other teams in danger of relegation, the Merseyside club has played one more game.
Dyche stated, “We are not naive.”
When I arrived, I was aware that not everything was perfect. I am aware that there is a lot of work to be done. Every match is significant.
That is what I told the players. We are in no way different from our previous performances.”
