Palace made it a nervy ending when Jeffrey Schlupp halved the deficit. "They (VAR) pick one player out." "I've just said to them that it's a start point, that's all it is.

And then, in this match at Goodison Park — their very next league game — they showed some of the reasons they may ultimately fall short. Arsenal simply did not ...

It is up to his players to determine whether this result is remembered as a temporary blip or a critical slip in the title race. This journey is going to be difficult and challenging and there are going to be big stones in the middle and we have to overcome that. Goodison Park has been a difficult ground for this manager, and this team — Arteta has now lost on each of his three visits to his former club in the Arsenal dugout. [Eddie Nketiah](https://theathletic.com/football/player/eddie-nketiah-DEv6ydhcRGewFPXs/) has deputised effectively for the Brazilian, but Jesus’ capacity to drop deep and help build the play was missed here. The Ukrainian’s passion has been a feature of Arsenal’s superb first half of the season — but now, after two consecutive defeats across league and cup, is a time for cool heads. By the time they eventually worked the ball out to him, the Brazilian was outnumbered in a two-v-one. Their replacements, debutant [Jorginho](https://theathletic.com/football/player/jorginho-MvC0hVi06208wo5E/) and [Fabio Vieira](https://theathletic.com/football/player/fabio-vieira-FgNHmkTUv1GO03Gb/), struggled to cope with the physicality of Everton’s approach. On the pitch, they struggled to show it. The congestion in the centre of the pitch meant there was often space out wide. Dyche found an antidote by deploying a trio of aggressive ball-winners and setting up the team in a narrow system designed to slow Arsenal’s ball progression through the middle of the pitch. It was a performance with the mark of champions.

Arsenal were on the receiving end of Everton's new manager bounce as they slipped to a costly defeat 1-0 to Sean Dyche's men on Saturday.

They were second best all afternoon and could easily have been behind before Tarkowski towered over Odegaard to head home Dwight McNeil’s corner on the hour mark. The defeat - Arsenal’s third in a row at Goodison Park - could see their lead at the top of the table cut to just two points if Manchester City win at Tottenham on Sunday, although the Gunners would still have a game in hand. The home side went into the game having lost eight of their last nine matches in all competitions but, inspired by new manager Sean Dyche, they outfought and outplayed the Premier League leaders on Merseyside.

We conceded too many free-kicks that stopped the game every 30-40 seconds and we couldn’t get back into the game. “The reality is that we should have done more to win the game,” he said. We will be next to them and prepare for Saturday.”

Everton, which claimed its first victory since Oct. “Today I love them much better than the week before or a month ago. I am still so proud of all of these players." “This is not going to be a rose pathway," Arteta said. Dyche said he had crammed a lot of instructions to his players into his first week on the job and wanted to get them to “understand the basics of the game.” It will go down as one of Arsenal's worst performances of the season, at a time when Mikel Arteta's team was looking in prime shape to go on and win the league for the first time since 2004.

Harry Kane became Tottenham's all-time leading scorer as Man City failed to cut the gap on table-toppers Arsenal by slumping to 1-0 defeat.

City's response was tepid - indicative of their recent trips to the swankiest new stadium in the Premier League. In stark contrast, City were infuriatingly ponderous for most of the contest. [Harry Kane's record-breaking strike early in the first half on Sunday](https://www.goal.com/en/news/kane-breaks-greaves-record-become-tottenham-s-all-time-top-goalscorer/blt5250ac9199874987) - a goal entirely of City's own making and one that immortalised the England captain as his boyhood club's all-time record scorer - increased the aggregate score over the last four games to 6-0.
