"Viktor Gyokeres ended a run of four games without a goal as he gave Arsenal the lead from the penalty spot against Everton. Gyokeres had not found the net since doing so in a 2-0 win over Burnley on November 1. But he was presented with a golden chance to do so when Everton's Jake O'Brien inexplicably handled in the penalty area while trying to defend an Arsenal corner."
"O'Brien jumped with both hands above his head, leaving referee Sam Barrott with no choice but to point to the spot after being advised by the VAR to consult the pitchside monitor for an on-field review. And Gyokeres made no mistake from 12 yards, powering emphatically beyond Jordan Pickford despite the Everton and England goalkeeper going the right way. An Arsenal win would send them back to the top of the Premier League table after they are displaced by Manchester City earlier on Saturday."
Viktor Gyokeres ended a four-game goal drought by converting a penalty to give Arsenal the lead against Everton. Gyokeres' previous goal came in a 2-0 win over Burnley on November 1. Everton's Jake O'Brien handled in the penalty area while defending an Arsenal corner, jumping with both hands above his head. Referee Sam Barrott awarded the penalty after the VAR advised a pitchside monitor on-field review. Gyokeres powered the spot-kick beyond Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. A win would return Arsenal to the top of the Premier League table after Manchester City's 3-0 victory over West Ham earlier that day.
