Arsenal suffer blip as Sean Dyche begins Everton reign with 1-0 win over Gunners

Everton Everton

Sean Dyche’s Everton reign got off to a flying start as James Tarkowski’s header handed Premier League leaders Arsenal a surprise 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park.

Everton looked revitalised in their first outing under the former Burnley boss, and it was two of his former Clarets players who combined for the winner, Tarkowski powering Dwight McNeil’s corner home on the hour.

Arsenal were kept at arm’s length by Everton during an unusually disjointed display, with the deserved victory dragging the Toffees at least temporarily out of the relegation zone.
