Arsenal down Everton to join Man City atop EPL table

Arsenal climbed to the top of the Premier League table, tying with Manchester City on 21 points after eight matches. This shift occurred after City suffered their first loss of the season in a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, where Nicolas Jackson scored twice.

Arsenal secured their position by beating Everton 2-0 in heavy rain, with Ezri Konsa scoring his first club goal in the seventh minute following a corner from Martin Odegaard. This goal ended a 13-game drought of set-piece scores for the Gunners.

Gabriel marked his 200th Premier League match by heading in a second goal in the 68th minute, assisted by Ben White, who was also making his 200th appearance for the team. Everton now sits in ninth place.

Meanwhile, Fulham earned their second league win of the season by defeating Coventry City 1-0, with Oscar Bobb scoring.
