Arsenal has ascended to the top of the Premier League table at Christmas following a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Everton. The crucial goal came from a penalty converted by Viktor Gyokeres, his first in five Premier League appearances, providing a much-needed boost for the team.

Despite securing the three points, Arsenal's performance was far from convincing, a pattern seen in their recent narrow wins. Mikel Arteta's side conceded a higher share of their goals in the final 10 minutes leading into this weekend, highlighting a need for improved concentration and execution throughout matches.

This win marks Arsenal's second consecutive victory achieved without showcasing their optimal performance. As the team looks to remain in contention after the Christmas break, Arteta will be focused on elevating their 90-minute performances to solidify their position at the summit.
