Alan Shearer questions Mikel Arteta's faith in Arsenal star despite Everton win - and asks whether he is the 'elite' striker to take title challengers to the 'next level'

Alan Shearer has questioned Mikel Arteta's team selection despite Arsenal picking up a 1-0 win against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.

A second-half strike from substitute Leandro Trossard was enough to secure all three points for the Gunners on Merseyside.

They were frustrated for long periods against Sean Dyche's strugglers, with Gabriel Martinelli seeing a first-half goal controversially ruled out for offside.

The victory means that Arsenal have picked up four wins from their opening five games of the new Premier League season.
