Match report: Everton 2-1 Arsenal

By Josh James

WHAT HAPPENED

Yerry Mina's goal right on the stroke of half-time condemned us to defeat at Goodison Park.

Nicolas Pepe - on penalty taking duty in the absence of the injured Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - had earlier levelled for us from 12 yards after captain for the day Rob Holding had put through his own net.

The hosts, with 2,000 fans inside the stadium behind them, started well and were seeing plenty of the ball early on.

Michael Keane strode forward from defence to fire just wide from 30 yards and we were struggling to push Everton back.
