Arsenal

The Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, was thrilled to see his side defeat Everton 4-0 to open up a five-point gap over Manchester City.

“Have that mentality of: ‘I’m going to do it on the pitch, I’m not going to wait for someone else to do it.” “You have to take that initiative,” he said. “You have to bring the home mentality to away games,” Dyche said. “We’re not going to stop that and we have to promote it. “It’s something we have to train, discuss and build,” he said. “I am really pleased with where the team are now.”

Arsenal, now five points ahead of Manchester City in the title race, are the only club with two players to surpass the 10-goal mark this season.

- Bukayo Saka is the first Arsenal player with multiple 10-goal campaigns in the Premier League before turning 22 years old. We're not a million miles away from the previous performances." Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta, on the result: "Once we scored the first goal, the game unlocked. Everton had scored the fewest number of goals in the Premier League (17) and it is difficult to see that record improving markedly until What a goal for Arsenal! Everton competed well here for 40 minutes, matching Arsenal's three-man midfield in a way that created the sort of staccato contest aimed at disrupting the home side's rhythm. Significant challenges remain but Arsenal have every chance of thriving if their young guns continue to play with such endeavour. After Gabriel Martinelli joined Saka in scoring his tenth league goal of the season, Arsenal became the only club to have two players surpass that milestone this season. Saka, Martinelli and Martin Odegaard -- who scored his first goal since Jan. The second featured the sort of youthful dynamism that has epitomised their season to this point and after the break, they turned what could have been a fraught evening into a canter which had fans cheering every pass and singing about being top of the league. Bukayo Saka became the second youngest Arsenal player after Cesc Fabregas to reach 50 Premier League goal involvements on Wednesday. This was Arsenal's long-awaited game-in-hand, one of ten Premier League matches postponed in September following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Arsenal's inspirational winger Bukayo Saka once again stepped up to the mark when the Premier League leaders needed him most in a 4-0 win over Everton at ...

It was a third successive win for the Gunners, one that saw them take a commanding grip on the Premier League title race ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Bournemouth.

Arsenal hit top gear as they moved five points clear at the top of the table with a thumping 4-0 win against Everton.

Gabriel Martinelli scored two as Arsenal took their chance to move clear in the Premier League title race on Wednesday, routing Everton 4-0.

I'm really happy. "Then the second half was really convincing, the way we attacked them, the composure in the box to score the goals that we wanted… "I'm happy, we won in a convincing way after 20 or 25 minutes in the first half where we had some difficulties attacking that block, with the really good organisation they have," Arteta said.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has a trick up his sleeve as he looks to sign Declan Rice before Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City, according to a report.

Rice has been accused of not having his full attention on West Ham with a big transfer looming. But Arteta has a plan to ensure it is Arsenal he chooses. His contract expires in June 2024 and he is unwilling to pen an extension, which means this summer will be West Ham’s best opportunity to get big money for him. The 24-year-old would be a fantastic capture for Arsenal. I think he’s not really kicked on. Rice is likely to leave West Ham at the end of the season.

Declan Rice is expected to leave West Ham at the end of this season, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City all interested.

The Cameroonian had been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham previously, and the deal may put to bed Bayern links with Spurs forward Harry Kane. – Fichajes claims Manchester City has placed an €80m (£71m) price tag on Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva, with Barcelona interested in securing his services. – Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar has declined Manchester United's advances and opted to sign with Eintracht Frankfurt, claims the Daily Express.

Saka has six goals and three assists in 11 league games since the World Cup. He has made the difference against Spurs, Manchester City and Manchester United – ...

It is relatively bold gambit, mid-title race, but right now the pieces are falling into place; with a sense that this team is ready, at the very least, to push it to the end. And by the end Saka had scored one and made one. Before half-time Saka made it, nicking the ball and putting it into the path of Gabriel Martinelli. Dyche picked a midfield that looked like it might be handy helping you to move house, or disassembling a Spitfire, but with enough craft to create the first openings of the game. The question is: which of these is real? Little wonder they might take a little more out of him. He is overall the ninth-most-fouled player in the league, which isn’t really that high on the list for a winger who plays every game and is the chief threat for the league leaders. For Arsenal the importance of this win was related to logistics. Arsenal had been poor before that opening goal late in the first half. The basic symmetry of moving level with Manchester City on 25 games played. Saka has six goals and three assists in 11 league games since the World Cup. There are many gambles and hedges and guesses in the moment.

Everton’s Idrissa Gueye gifted Arsenal a second on the stroke of halftime. Everton had actually looked capable of taking something from the game. Given far too much time to turn after receiving a pass from Odegaard on the right edge of the penalty area, he smashed an angled shot into the roof of the net.
