First-half goals by Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi earned Arsenal a first win in four league games to revive their Premier League title hopes in the early kickoff at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Welbeck was denied by the woodwork in a lively opening before Alexis Sanchez's defence-splitting pass played him in to round keeper Joel Robles and score after seven minutes.

Arsenal, who began the day 11 points behind leaders Leicester City with a game in hand, were slick in attack and doubled their lead after 42 minutes when Iwobi, in his first league start, raced through to beat Robles with a cool finish.

FA Cup semi-finalists Everton struggled to create much in the way of clear chances and could have lost by more against an impressive Arsenal side who stayed in third place. – Reuters
