Premier League 2025-26: Arsenal regain top spot after a 1-0 win against Everton


Arsenal secured top spot in the Premier League at Christmas with a 1-0 win over Everton, while Liverpool survived a nail-biting final on Saturday by beating nine-man Tottenham 2-1.

Arsenal restored their two-point lead thanks to Viktor Gyokeres’ penalty, but failed to excel in a win on Merseyside.

It was a story about penalty kicks at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

AS IT HAPPENED: EVE VS ARS HIGHLIGHTS

Arsenal had strong claims waived for a foul on Gyokeres seconds before being awarded a penalty for a handball from Jake O’Brien, which the Swede converted.

Leandro Trossard and Martin Zubimendi hit the post for the visitor after the break, but Everton were furious that two challenges on Thierno Barry in the penalty area went unpunished.
