Football – Xhaka’s return was not enough for Arsenal

Surprise, Monday, at Goodison Park. More than two months after his serious injury to the internal ligament of the knee during a meeting against Tottenham, Granit Xhaka made his return to competition at Everton. And the midfielder of the Swiss team was established from the start by his coach Mikel Arteta.

Warned on time, Granit Xhaka played the entire match but did not prevent the defeat of the Gunners, already beaten by Manchester United last week, and who nevertheless led 1-0 thanks to an achievement by Martin Ødegaard just before half-time.

Everton, who still camped on eight matches without success, snatched the equalizer by Richarlison, who deserved it after being refused two goals (44th and 59th) by the VAR. Before seeing Demarai Gray snatch three capital points for the Toffees in added time.

With this setback, Arsenal (7th with 23 points) thus misses the opportunity to come back to Tottenham (5th with 25 points). Everton are 12th with 18 units.
