Everton revived their Premier League top-four hopes with a 1-0 win against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night. 

A howler from Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno gifted Everton a crucial win in their bid for a Champions League place.

Everton were without a win in six games in all competitions but have now moved to within three points of the top four.

While the game can hardly be termed as a classic, it was a memorable night for the Toffees who triumphed at Arsenal in the league for the first time since 1996.

Arsenal created a few good opportunities, but Everton’s defence was resolute. In the 76th minute, Everton forward Richarlison tried to roll a pass across the six-yard box, which should have been a routine save for Leno.

However, the ball slipped through the Arsenal keeper’s hands and rolled into the net.

Gylfi Sigurdsson came close to scoring for the visitors when his 30-yard free-kick hit the bar. Everton players took to Twitter after the game to express their reactions:

tres puntos que son muy importantes.
