Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, has lauded Everton’s efficiency following the Gunners’ defeat to The Toffees at Goodison Park on Saturday, February 4.
Everton defeated Arsenal 1-0 in new coach Sean Dyche’s first game in charge.
James Tarkowski scored the only goal of the game in the 60th minute.
In his post-match conference, Arteta conceded that the Toffees were efficient in their performance during the encounter.
“Well, I think Everton were really good,” Football.london quoted Arteta as saying.
“We have to congratulate them first for how they’ve turned things around and I think they’ve made it difficult to win the game because they were really efficient.”
With the result, Arsenal have missed a chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners, with a game in hand, are first in the table on 50 points from 20 matches. They’re five points ahead of Manchester City who will face home side Tottenham Hotspur Sunday, February 5.
