Too bad, Arsenal had to be overthrown by a bottom team in the match yesterday. Arsenal should have been able to move on smoothly and overthrew Everton. whereas, Arsenal had several opportunities, 70% possession, three shots on target, seven off the mark, five blocked shots. unfortunately the Gunners' young squad was unable to take advantage of the momentum to gain full points in last night's game. I am quite disappointed, even though Arsenal's overall game is not too bad.
Over 70% possession of course it's not a bad game even they tend to keep pressing against Everton but they can't get past the opponent's defense and when there is momentum they are not so optimal and I don't know if this is unlucky or indeed Everton is trying with survive but in the end I was still surprised by the defeat of the lower zone team.
Meanwhile, Sean Dyche made his debut as a new coach with Everton with quite satisfactory results after successfully overthrowing the Premier League leaders. although in truth, Sean Dyche only relied on a defensive strategy pattern with a 4-5-1 formation. but in fact, Everton was able to topple Arsenal who were On Fire in the Premier League.
The game is not luck but Sean Dyche as a new coach with his own tactical style was able to beat Arsenal as a Premier League tough team this season and this is a witness that Everton seems to be rising to avoid falling into a slump after being at the hands of Prank Lampard.
I think after being handled by Sean Dyche, Everton can perform even better.
On the other hand, Arsenal are still five points ahead of Man City. but the results of this match, not good for the Gunners. meaning, Arteta will have to re-motivate his squad to get back on track if they are still to win the Premier League trophy this season. Furthermore, Arsenal must win their matches, including overthrowing City in the match later.
Now 5 points adrift of Manchester City, but now Manchester City will also face Spurs, we don't know the final result, but in essence, Pep Guardiola's troops will be more superior, maybe after Arsenal found out they lost last night, it seems Pep Guardiola will be more careful and try win to get closer to Arsenal.
It will be even tougher now for the title fight if Arsena keeps slipping.
