Arsenal defeated Everton 2-0 at Emirates Stadium on Saturday to pull level with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
Ezri Konsa bundled the ball into the net in the opening minutes for his first goal for the club since joining from Aston Villa in August.
Fellow centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes doubled the home side’s lead midway through the second period.
The win meant Arsenal took full advantage of City’s 2-1 defeat at Villa Park in Saturday’s kick-off – the first time Enzo Maresca’s men had dropped points this season.
