Everton’s struggles continued as Arsenal came from behind to record a 5-2 victory at Goodison Park.

The Blues took an early lead as Wayne Rooney curled home a superb right-footed effort into the corner of the Sir Philip Carter Park End net, a goal that evoked memories of his first senior goal for the Club back in 2002.

But the Gunners went in level at the interval as Nacho Monreal prodded home from close range after Jordan Pickford had parried Granit Xhaka’s deflected shot.

Mesut Ozil’s header put the visitors in front eight minutes into the second period, before the Toffees were reduced to 10 men when Idrissa Gana Gueye saw red for a second bookable offence.
