"Viktor Gyokeres' first-half penalty sent Arsenal back to the top of the Premier League as they won 1-0 at Everton. The Gunners had been displaced at the summit by Manchester City, 3-0 winners over West Ham earlier on Saturday, and were not at their best at the Hill-Dickinson Stadium as they attempted to respond in kind. But they were handed a gift when Jake O'Brien inexplicably handled in the penalty area while trying to defend an Arsenal corner."
"Sam Barrott pointed to the spot after being advised to consult the pitchside monitor for a VAR review, and Gyokeres made no mistake from 12 yards, scoring his first goal since November 1. Arsenal dominated against an Everton side missing several key players, and their inability to find a second goal did not prevent Mikel Arteta from being able to celebrate six years in charge with a win."
