The France international began to
make up for his struggles against
Monaco by burying the first goal as the
north Londoners moved back into third
in the Premier League
Arsenal moved back up to third in the
Premier League as goals from Olivier
Giroud and Tomas Rosicky saw
off Everton 2-0 at the Emirates
Stadium.
After a disastrous performance against
Monaco, the French striker got back on
the horse by finishing off a low cross at
a corner near the end of the first half.
Though Everton looked somewhat tired
after their midweek Europa League
exploits, David Ospina had to be in
good form to fend off some good
chances in the second half.
But Arsenal’s holding-out paid off
when Rosicky scored via a slight
deflection from Phil Jagielka shortly
before the end of normal time.
Roberto Martinez’s side remain only
six points above the drop zone, while
Arsenal are one point ahead of fourth-
placed Manchester United and still
three clear of Liverpool following their
win against Manchester City earlier in
the day.
Arsenal might have fallen behind in the
17th minute if not for a piece of smart
goalkeeping from David Ospina, who
raced off his line to rob Romelu
Lukaku of the ball after the striker had
beaten Gabriel – in for Per Mertesacker
as part of three changes from midweek
– to a long ball over the top.
