    Saka just needs to calm down a little, he’s given the ball away a few times now.

    Ceballos has been brilliant today. Torreira on to try and close out the game.

    Aubameyang has done alot of defending this half.

    Ozil and Ceballos were running the midfield, hopefully Torreira and Guenduzi can close the game out without us losing to much fluidity.

    The front three looking tired now. Hope they’ve got the legs to keep defending from the front.

    Sooo close to finishing the game there!!! Off the crossbar.

    Guenduzi has clearly been instructed to close from the front to help the tired legs up top. Working well so far. Almost made a goal.

    Ancelotti telling the assistant ref to add another minute! 5 is quite enough thanks!

    That’s a good win against an Everton team who’ve looked good under Ancelotti.

    Some typical nervy arsenal moments in the game but overall a really good performance.

    3 points behind Tottenham, 4 behind Utd in Fifth (potential CL spot) and 7 off Chelsea.

    If we can keep up this momentum we might actually finish the season in a decent position.

    Good result - crazy game.

    Thought offensively we were solid and our forwards worked their socks off.
    Ceballos and Ozil linking up beautifully.

    Aubameyang now Top scorer in the league - looks on for his second golden boot.

    We saw the good and bad of Mustafi today. Some great blocks and quality passes but was constantly outjumped in the box.

    We need to cut out the defensive errors as we always hand the opposition unnecessary chances to score but you can see both the football and workrate has improved considerably under Arteta.

    Good win that. We fought hard for it, even though we gave away two soft goals, we had enough fight in us to get all 3pts.

    Good form this. Long may it continue.

    Na not been injured for a while. Seems Arteta does'nt fancy him - bit like Wenger seems he values playing ability over defensive qualities.

    Whoscored has Mustafi winning 4/4 Defensive Aerials. He may have lost his man, but he was never actually outjumped according to whoscored, just sayin'.
