Ezri Konsa's first Arsenal goal and a Gabriel Magalhaes strike beat Everton 2-0 and put the Gunners level on points with leaders Manchester City.
Arsenal's title charge has plenty of followers across Africa, and they had a lot to cheer at the Emirates. Gabriel Magalhaes was on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win over Everton that lifted the Gunners level on points with league leaders Manchester City.
Gabriel, the Brazilian centre-back, has become a fan favourite for his strength and aggression at both ends of the pitch. Here he added a goal to a commanding defensive display, the kind of all-round performance a title-chasing side needs.
There was a landmark moment too for Ezri Konsa, who scored his first goal for the club. It was a timely one, and it put Arsenal in control against an Everton side that couldn't find a way back.
The result puts the pressure on City. Arsenal have matched their points tally, so every slip from here could decide the title race. With the gap closed, the Gunners will keep believing.
