ARSENAL 2-1 EVERTON: Idrissa Gueye and Takehiro Tomiyasu exchanged first-half strikes, with Kai Havertz scoring the eventual winner at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners' title hopes were ended with Manchester City crowned this season's champions
Arsenal 's Premier League title dream ended in disappointment despite a late win against Everton on the final day of the season.
Saka concern One of the headlines from even before the game was the absence of Bukayo Saka. The academy graduate was sidelined with a muscle injury, as revealed by Mikel Arteta. Early City goal punctures atmosphere However much a player attempts to block out any external noise, it must be tricky at times. That was certainly true at the Emirates on Sunday.
He was at it again against the Gunners. Given the responsibilty of a free-kick on the edge of the area, the Senegalese midfielder found the back of the net - courtesy of a fortunate deflection off of the head of Declan Rice. To be fair, he had been trying his luck throughout the first-half with a number of efforts. He will certainly feel satisfied that he could finally get his goal.
Nearly but not enough For the second season in a row, Arsenal's efforts just quite haven't been enough. But that should not detract from the stunning season that they have had this term.
