Tabs and Ian jump on live moments after Arsenal grind out a tense 1–0 win at Everton's new Hill Dickinson stadium on Arteta’s sixth anniversary in charge. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t fluid, and it certainly wasn’t comfortable — but Arsenal leave Merseyside with three points after a thunderous Viktor Gyokeres' penalty settled a scrappy, low‑quality affair.
