Arsenal 2-0 Everton LIVE – Youngster Dowman scores to secure hosts win

“Go and do your thing and win us the game. And the same with Viktor and to Martinelli. I said these are the moments in the season when something special has to happen, and he knows he has the ability, which I have to give him the opportunity, and he will deliver.”

Mikel Arteta on Arsenal’s late win over Everton: “It was a phenomenal moment. We talked before the game to play with that relentless desire to win every action and to have the conviction that we are going to find a way to do it.

“And the effort, the quality, the commitment of the players was sensational. And then it ended up in a manner that probably none of us expected. And it was one of the best moments that we lived together at the Emirates.”

Goalscorer Viktor Gyokeres on Max Dowman becoming the youngest ever Premier League goalscorer: “It’s incredible. You can see how he plays. He stays so calm and without fear every time he gets the ball.

“He takes the right decision most of the time as well and with the goal, he definitely took the right one.

“He’s an amazing player, it was a great goal for him and I’m so happy for him.”
