Arsenal missed the chance to close the gap in the Premier League title race when they fell 1-0 against a shock at the Emirates.
Jarrod Bowen found the network with a header at the time of the half and in the end the difference was what turned out to be a frustrating afternoon for the Gunners, who ended the game with 10 men when he was sent Myes Lewis Skelly to tow Mohammed Kudus .
Mikel Areta cut a desperate figure on the touch line when the ticket of the seconds in the second half had the opportunity to lower Liverpool’s lead at the top of the league to five points.

In an exciting encounter in the Goodison Park, Beto and Abdoulaye Doucore gave the Toffees a deserved lead in the first half.
