Mikel Arteta has revealed why he elected to bring Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard off in the second half of their clash with Everton.
With Manchester City in the midst of a historic slump and Liverpool dropping points against Fulham, the Gunners had a golden opportunity to reignite their title charge on Saturday.
Everton travelled to the Emirates having won just one of their away games in the Premier League this season, whilst languishing close to the relegation zone.
However, despite dominating possession throughout the clash and creating numerous chances, the hosts failed to find a way in front.
