Arsenal won against Everton at Goodison Park after six years with a decisive Trossard goal to give them crucial 3 points in the Premier League. The Belgian winger, who replaced the injured Gabriel Martinelli in the first half, showed his quality with a stunning finish after a slick passing move from the Gunners in the 67th minute.
Arsenal had been frustrated by Everton’s defense and had a goal disallowed for offside when Martinelli beat Jordan Pickford with a low shot. The visitors also had to deal with the hostile atmosphere at Goodison Park, where they had not won since 2017. But Trossard, who has been in and out of the team under Mikel Arteta, proved to be the difference maker with his fourth goal of the season. He combined well with Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Bukayo Saka before curling the ball into the top corner from the edge of the box.
The win lifted Arsenal to fourth place in the Premier League table, two points ahead of West Ham, who play on Monday. Everton, meanwhile, remains in the relegation zone after their fourth defeat in five games.
The match started with a disallowed goal in the 21st minute after a VAR review after Martinelli was spotted at the offside line. In the 24th minute, Martinelli got injured, and Trossard replaced him, which gave the gunners more attacking power. The scoreline was 0-0 in half time, but after half time, Arsenal started to go on a full attack, but it was Pickford who saved a few good shots that forced Arteta to change their striker.
Arsenal made a substitute in the 66th minute and changed the striker Nketiah with Jesus. Soon, in the 69th minute of the match, Leandro Trossard scored the first goal of the match to give Arsenal the lead, and only that goal was scored in the match to give Arsenal a crucial 3 points.
