Nothing is forever. Arsenal, who did not lose in the League since day one, which had hardened in competitiveness and reliability, slipped when it was becoming the great opposition to leader Chelsea. Goodison Park and Everton knocked out the Gunners (2-1). The misfortune they felt at the Emirates in August against Liverpool, who had abandoned them for four months, returned with the cold and before the other team of the city of Merseyside. And that Alexis appeared as always.
The Chilean striker gets everything. If Özil disconnects, if Arsenal crashes and Wenger suffers, ‘Wonder Boy’ appears. From center forward is coming out. He demolished the wall ‘toffee’ with a foul in which he had the help of Williams and Stekelenburg. It knocked on the defense, touched the goalkeeper and ended at the back of the net. Alexis opens the scoring for the fifth time. Again exerted of plunger. He already adds 12 goals and five assists tracing the numbers of Diego Costa. Both are the top scorers of the Premier and have raised their performance. Alexis has participated in 27 goals (19 goals and eight goal passes) in the last 27 league matches. He is one of the 13 who made it through the last Premier.
The hyperactivity of Alexis and the climbs of Bellerin were the only drinking left by the Gunners at Goodison Park. With Everton in crisis, with Koeman and his pupils ruminating five days without wins, Arsenal did not accelerate. He made it known, he controlled it and he ended up paying. Everton’s sides rewound. Baines, the owner of the left lane, put it to the right and Coleman, the boss of the right-hand man, turned the tie head first. Baines has already given away 48 goals since playing in the Premier. Coleman has ‘dipped’ in two of his last three crashes at Goodison Park. They are understood perfectly.
Özil sent the limbo an opportunity his left-hander did not waste. Alexis continued to try while Lukaku disturbed Cech. Koeman got Mirallas and the teenager and debutant Calvin-Lewin in search of the miracle. Cech pulled Lukaku’s goal. He could not with Williams. He sought all the mourning and found it in the epilogue. In a corner that threw Barkley took the award the Welsh defender. Everton came back up again. He has already won 11 points over obstacles, with defeat drowning him.
In an end of infarction, Cech rose to the end, Jagielka finished expelled, Iwobi found the hole and Baines took the ball under sticks. Crazy. Everton breathed … and Arsenal became mortal. Chelsea can escape.
