It wasn’t pretty or exciting on Sunday but Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Everton was just the kind of game that Premier League title challenges can be built on.
Arsenal was the only team in action Sunday to score, after Chelsea misfired in a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth. It was Everton’s first game since the club announced majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri agreed a sale to Miami-based 777 Partners. 777 has stakes in multiple clubs worldwide including Hertha Berlin which, like Everton, was in decline on the field when a majority stake was taken in March. Hertha was relegated and is now in the Bundesliga second tier.
With just two goals scored in five league games Everton has the worst scoring rate. Last-place Luton also has scored just twice though in one game fewer than Everton, which already is back in the bottom three places where it spent much of last season. A hectic week for Arsenal sees the club return to the Champions League for the first time in seven seasons on Wednesday, at home to PSV Eindhoven, before hosting Tottenham in the north London derby next Sunday.Chelsea is still misfiring in a latest reset with yet more newly acquired players in a US$1-billion spending spree and after hiring another highly rated coach since its own American-led takeover last year.
“That is a thing that makes me very, very angry and disappointed because the effort of the team is fantastic,” Pochettino said. “We need, sometimes, this luck or be more clinical in front of goal. Because all the metrics are good.”
