(Premier League 2023/2024): Highlights Arsenal - Everton

It's gone to the final day, Manchester City have it in their hands, but if they were to drop points an Arsenal win will not just raise the Emirates roof and start off the fireworks, it will mean a first Premier League title in 20 years and a 14th English League Championship. First the Gunners need to take care of Everton, the Toffees are safe following a run of 13 points They are in form, but so are Arsenal, having won their last five matches. The Gunners League form in 2024 has been sensational, having picked up 46 points out of 51. It's been a remarkable season, can it get even better? Away by Calvert-Lewin, back to Woodergard, faced by McNeil, Declan Rice, clever ball in, it comes right across and it's wide, it was Tomiasu sneaking in again. A really good opportunity there for Tomiasu, it's a lovely little dink from Declan Rice, he sort of opts out of getting out of his feet and having a shot, dinks it to the far post. Tomiasu should really be doing better there than hitting the target. Then White will go out to Martinelli, he's done well, he's got the better of Ashley Young there, oh, beautiful skill, Martinelli can be in, pick for the great save, and Coleman got there before any Arsenal player, wonderful move from Arsenal, lovely play by Martinelli and a fine save. Cross-army got the only goal in the reverse fixture, three points for Goodison Park, then White tries to keep it in, he wants to do that, he did well there under those circumstances. They have come away with it and they'll try and break, with Gay, one or two runners here, it's Fed, Calvert-Lewin, there's danger here, Calvert-Lewin shoots, hits the post, the rebound into the side netting. Oh, they're a crowd of cheering, they're breathing a sigh of relief because, again, an Arsenal attack, is there ever an attack up the other end and it's a fair chance this does really well, Calvert-Lewin, hits the post, one-on-one with Gabriel. Here's White, loses out there this time to Inanna, here's McNeil, again running at the Arsenal defence, and then goes down under the challenge, that's going to be a yellow card here. I mean, I know he's tackled from behind and he has brought the player down, but it looked from here a genuine attempt, it didn't look a cynical challenge, then White just trying to, just overplaying a little bit, said McNeil, he's really quick to get on the run, isn't he, and go for a dribble with a ball. Thomas Partey, yellow carded. I think Ashley Young has always fancied himself with a free kick, hasn't he? And again, suits the right footer from the left-hand side of the D. I think Idrissa Gay, his favourite though here, to take this, it is Gay to flex and it's in! Ederson have the lead, the free kick deflects, and gave David Raya absolutely no chance. Oh, that's an absolute blow for Arsenal, deflection as well, Raya steps to the right, he's looking to go up and over the wall, it flies into the top left of the goal. Not a position Arsenal wanted to be in, still a few minutes to this half-left and quite a bit of additional time. That will give Everton a right boost. Free kick again, the head, Declan Rice, oh, what a blow for him. Saliba, Partey out wide. Back to White, Udagard, timing his run well, pulls it back, here's Tomiasu! 1-1! Tomiasu, made by Udagard! What a goal, it's exact replica of earlier on, wasn't it? But earlier on he was challenged and blocked, this time no mistake, what a goal. A couple of times earlier Tomiasu threatened to score, this is all made by Udagard's intelligent movement, lovely pullback, and Tomiasu reading it well, and this time the execution is perfect. Yeah, Arsenal have been waiting for these pockets of space. Partey out wide, Udagard makes the run, cuts it back, it just goes through all the players, two yards off the penalty spot, no-one there to make a block this time, and he dispatches it brilliantly, gets Arsenal's confidence right back up. Anyway, if Arsenal didn't win, and I think if Arsenal had nothing to play for at this stage, it would still be a must-win game, it's the last game of the season in front of your fans, who have been dedicated unbelievably to helping this team this season, been the 12th man every week, the players have a duty of obligation to do that. Marsinelli cuts inside, there's a good ball in, oh, it's off the crossbar from Havertz! And then it's back into Pickford's hands, oh, that was so unlucky, Havertz so close. The ball was almost going past him, he's running out of room to head it, and he hits the... almost in the top corner. Rice, good ball, Crossar pulls it back, and it's... oh, it's somehow not gone in! Smith-Rowe on the rebound, it's blocked again, Emerson somehow surviving. Oh, has Pickford stopped that, what a move by Arsenal. Here's Pickford's backside that stops it going in, he almost sits on the ball, and within a second, four defenders round him, stopping any other opportunities coming his way. He's had a really good game, the Everton keeper. He has, he's really impressed actually. I'm so impressed with this, look at the five midfield, every time Arsenal get possession they're tucked right back in, width of the box only, don't get drawn out. Martinelli, plays another one in, oh, good work, Emil Smith-Rowe! Oh, it was a glory moment for Smith-Rowe. Smith-Rowe to Zinchenko, on to Martinelli. Clips one in, oh, Havertz! It was a difficult ball to control at that height, and he could only steer it off target, but that was not really a chance, it was difficult. Judging by his reaction, Tim, he thinks he probably could have done better. Good early pass into Martinelli, and he picks out Havertz, I don't know, I think if he hits it at the goal, and just glances, that could give Pickford trouble, and judging by his reaction, he's super disappointed. Here come Arsenal though, and Jesus might have to go on his own! Now Udagard, they've almost got him! What, does the goal count? There's nothing from the referee's assistant, Pickford talking to the referee. Arsenal players are retreating, I've got a feeling there might have been a free kick given in there, I'm not sure, Tim. What is going on? Well, is it a goal? Presuming it was, but no-one seems to be celebrating. Mistake there. Definite goal, definite goal. There was a bit of fumbling going through, Havertz finally putting the ball in. Well, there's a check going on at the moment, we understand. Total confusion in the stadium over the Tannoy, Kai Havertz. I just wonder whether Udagard actually meant that little poke to Havertz, because he couldn't get a shot off. Havertz dispatches it into the back of the net, so there's the Arsenal win, it looks like.
