What Everton’s victory over Arsenal means
Everton’s victory over Arsenal is one of those rudest shocks in the game. Everton football club was at the relegation zone at least until 1:30pm when its home game against Arsenal started.
In contrast, Arsenal sat at the top of the table with five points above defending champions Manchester City. Arsenal was confident of victory to continue its English Premier League title dream.
Meanwhile, only last week Everton decided to part ways with legendary midfielder Frank Lampard over his floppy performance at the league and other domestic competitions.
Some sections of the media alleged that Frank Lampard had lost the dressing room, hence he couldn’t control the players to win. Sean Dyche, a former Burnley coach took over at the helm of affairs of the struggling team.
The victory means a lot. At least for the main time pressure will be over Everton and confidence can be restored in the players. Beating Arsenal in the English Premier League means a lot this season. Everton would be the second to defeat the gunners in the league.
With the result at the Goodison Park this afternoon, it may be true that Lampard was the problem. And if he were not the clog in the wheel, it must mean that Sean Dyche is a fantastic coach.
Arsenal just completed some new signings. The North London team bought Italian Jorginho and Belgian Leandro Trossard to boost its chances of winning the league.
And Everton’s game would be the first since the closure of the January transfer window. Unfortunately, it ended as a loss for the team. The defeat would go a long way to haunt Arsenal and it may even ultimately cost the team the league title.
Everton’s victory over Arsenal has further made the league more unpredictable. No team is immune to defeat as anything unthinkable can happen in the game.
