Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as Arsenal won a five-goal thriller against Everton, in an Emirates Stadium clash packed with drama.
Match Report
Everton stunned Emirates Stadium with a first-minute opener from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and also scored through Richarlison in stoppage time at the end of the first half.
But they were rocked by Aubameyang putting Arsenal back in front just 24 seconds into the second half, and despite a heartening return to action for Andre Gomes, the Toffees finished without reward.
