    Steven Broadbent: #Everton, external are shocking after conceding a goal. Our confidence just seems to completely go, saw it at West Ham last week... and again against Arsenal today.

    Adam Byrne: Silva Out

    Sho: Wow that is a joke. Aubameyang clearly offside

    Arsenal fans are screaming at their players to shoot every time they get the ball near the area.

    You can't blame them, after that Alexandre Lacazette peach.

    Granit Xhaka decides otherwise.

    Arsenal 2-0 Everton

    Everton can feel pretty hard done by.

    They looked the better side before that first Arsenal goal went in, and now find themselves 2-0 down at the Emirates.

    They haven't beaten Arsenal at home since 1996.

    It'll take some comeback to change that run.

    Everton give the ball away in a stupid area and their backline is all over the place.

    It's a three v one situation but Aubameyang was well offside.

    Arsenal have got lucky as how they are winning this game two-nil I will never know.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (58 mins)

    You wait all day for a goal...

    And then Arsenal grab two in two minutes.

    Everton leave themselves wide open at the back as Mesut Ozil has time to drive into the box and pick out Aaron Ramsey.

    The midfielder slips, but manages to help it on to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and he smashes in from close range.

    Tight, but he looked just offside from Ramsey's flick...

    Incredible strike!

    Everton couldn't clear their lines and you can see as soon as he picks it up in that left hand channel he whipped it in, but it was a simple enough pass from Aaron Ramsey and that is a stunning finish.

    You just felt in that period of Everton dominating they needed to score.

    Alexandre Lacazette (56 mins)

    What a goal!

    Alexandre Lacazette has been quiet all afternoon, but that is an absolute peach from the French forward.

    The Gunners win it back inside the Everton half, Aaron Ramsey tickles it towards Lacazette in the box and he just cuts on to his right and rifles an effort in off the bar.

    Superb strike.

    Arsenal are all over the shop defensively at the minute.

    When they finally break the Everton press the Gunners stream forward.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gets his head to the ball from a drifting cross, but it's cleared by the Toffees - did that strike Jonjoe Kenny's arm?!

    The Arsenal man thinks so!

    Theo Walcott's not known for his heading prowess, but he gets across Rob Holding and Shkodran Mustafi to nod towards goal.

    Comfortable for Petr Cech.

    Well worked corner from Arsenal, but they're being restricted to half chances.

    The Gunners haven't quite clicked in attack today, yet.

    I tell you what's ridiculous, I wouldn't swap a single Everton sub with any of the Arsenal subs.

    They've got all sorts of players that can come on, the likes of Baines and Lookman.

    Arsenal's best 11 are out on the pitch so they're going to have to do something with it. They're just not cohesive, just a few flashes, yes.

    Everton have been dominant and Richarlison has been a constant menace, whether out in the middle or out on the left-hand side.

    We need to see more from Torreira and Xhaka.

    Tom Davies temporarily turns into George Best as he shimmies his way past three Arsenal players, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin doesn't do his skipper any favours by standing in an offside position.

    And that gives Arsenal a chance to counter.

    The Gunners come pouring forward and win a corner off Theo Walcott.

    Positive start from Everton.

    Lucas Digne looking to get down the left and seeing his cross diverted behind for a corner.

    Both full-backs for either side are playing very high this afternoon.

    Marco Silva will be the happier manager, I wouldn't say Everton are controlling the game but they are playing very well for the away side.

    The one place you don't wan't Ozil is playing him out wide, Ramsey should be helping out doing the dog work there.

    Aubameyang has been threatening with Monreal down the left.

    But the worry for Unai Emery is how quiet Lacazette has been.

    Richarlison looked the most dangerous player on the pitch in the first half.

    He scored twice on international duty for Brazil during his three-game suspension for Everton.

    Marco Silva's side have missed him...

    The Brazilian forced a couple of good saves from Petr Cech when coming in off the left flank, as shown by his touch map above.

    West Ham United

    More from West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini, who tells BBC Sport how his tactics thwarted Chelsea: "We allowed Chelsea to have possession where we wanted them to have it.

    "We allowed them to have it on the right side, not on the left where they have Marcos Alonso and Eden Hazard.

    "They played most of the game on their right side so they didn't create too many chances."
