[Oleksandr Zinchenko](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/217482/Oleksandr-Zinchenko) had a decent chance to equalise late on but his shot went over the bar. [James Tarkowski](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/155226/James-Tarkowski)'s second-half header was enough for Everton to seal a crucial win in Sean Dyche's first game as the club's new manager. [Leandro Trossard](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/174980/Leandro-Trossard) forcing [Jordan Pickford](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/159443/Jordan-Pickford) into a good save while Saka blazed over from inside the box. [Amadou Onana](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/304799/Amadou-Onana)'s cross while [Abdoulaye Doucoure](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/176562/Abdoulaye-Doucouré)'s close-range header went wide. "It's taken me a while, I need to score more. Hopefully this is the turning point for the club, there is a lot of talent here," he told BT Sport.

Sean Dyche steps back in time with nod to a very different Everton era (The Guardian)

Sean Dyche's sheer energy galvanises Everton with echoes of club's history evident during their victory over league leaders Arsenal.

At the end, as Goodison erupted, there was a brisk handshake with Arteta and a couple of members of his staff, a brief acknowledgement of the crowd in a few sharp claps and then he was down the tunnel. In the eighties, particularly during their Cup-Winners’ Cup success in 1985, Everton had been a pioneer of a five-man midfield and Dyche, ripping up the 4-4-2 blueprint of his Burnley days, paid homage to that. There had been demonstrations outside before kick-off and early in the game a plane flew over dragging a banner that proclaimed Everton “the league’s worst-run club”. Dyche had spoken of wanting to recapture the spirit of the eighties, which is reasonable enough if only as an appeal to the traditions of the club. Most of the time, particularly after half-time, Dyche was bellowing at his defence to push up, with expansive wafts of his right arm. Vast sums have been spent very badly and again the board stayed away for its own safety, but just because there are a lot of things to put right it does not mean that you shouldn’t correct the things you can.

Arsenal loses 1-0 at Everton for 2nd Premier League defeat (The San Diego Union-Tribune)

Arsenal has lost in the Premier League for just the second time this season as Everton pulled off a surprising 1-0 win over the leaders in its first match ...

“Today I love them much better than the week before or a month ago. “This is not going to be a rose pathway,” Arteta said. I am still so proud of all of these players.” Everton, which claimed its first victory since Oct. Dyche said he had crammed a lot of instructions to his players into his first week on the job and wanted to get them to “understand the basics of the game.” It will go down as one of Arsenal’s worst performances of the season, at a time when Mikel Arteta’s team was looking in prime shape to go on and win the league for the first time since 2004.

Everton stuns Arsenal and Liverpool's EPL troubles deepen (The Washington Post)

MANCHESTER, England — Prowling the sideline and upsetting the big boys, it's as if Sean Dyche never went away. There was even a trademark headed goal from ...

In that sense, it was business as usual against an Arsenal team flying highest in the league and looking to open an eight-point gap on second-placed Manchester City. But the London club will have a game in hand. On Saturday, his 87th-minute header sealed a 1-0 league win against Bournemouth. That one (win) doesn’t guarantee the next one,” Dyche said. “We better change it. That run led to the sacking of manager Frank Lampard last month and the appointment of Dyche in a desperate bid to avoid relegation.

Arsenal have shown why they could win the title – at Everton we saw ... (The Athletic)

And then, in this match at Goodison Park — their very next league game — they showed some of the reasons they may ultimately fall short. Arsenal simply did not ...

[Thomas Partey](https://theathletic.com/football/player/thomas-partey-WvYPPsYnodFQ5XO1/) and [Martin Odegaard](https://theathletic.com/football/player/martin-odegaard-hRSWwjJppH2Xn0jr/) during the second half. It is up to his players to determine whether this result is remembered as a temporary blip or a critical slip in the title race. This journey is going to be difficult and challenging and there are going to be big stones in the middle and we have to overcome that. Goodison Park has been a difficult ground for this manager, and this team — Arteta has now lost on each of his three visits to his former club in the Arsenal dugout. [Eddie Nketiah](https://theathletic.com/football/player/eddie-nketiah-DEv6ydhcRGewFPXs/) has deputised effectively for the Brazilian, but Jesus’ capacity to drop deep and help build the play was missed here. The Ukrainian’s passion has been a feature of Arsenal’s superb first half of the season — but now, after two consecutive defeats across league and cup, is a time for cool heads. By the time they eventually worked the ball out to him, the Brazilian was outnumbered in a two-v-one. Their replacements, debutant [Jorginho](https://theathletic.com/football/player/jorginho-MvC0hVi06208wo5E/) and [Fabio Vieira](https://theathletic.com/football/player/fabio-vieira-FgNHmkTUv1GO03Gb/), struggled to cope with the physicality of Everton’s approach. On the pitch, they struggled to show it. The congestion in the centre of the pitch meant there was often space out wide. Dyche found an antidote by deploying a trio of aggressive ball-winners and setting up the team in a narrow system designed to slow Arsenal’s ball progression through the middle of the pitch. It was a performance with the mark of champions.

Sean Dyche's first week at Everton – how he set foundation to beat ... (The Athletic)

Everton have endured a miserable season but Sean Dyche has transformed the mood around the club and among fans at Goodison Park.

In his interview for the job, Dyche had impressed with his vision to take the team forward and get them out of the mess they were in. He plans to set up a phone call between the young midfielder and his countryman Steven Defour next week with a view to his former charge passing on some key pieces of advice. Expectations will be tempered and nobody will be allowed to get ahead of themselves. Collectively, this was also the most distance Everton have covered in a game this campaign. The message was that this would be a clean slate. [Dwight McNeil](https://theathletic.com/football/player/dwight-mcneil-aw0nascKPN8CLL5O/)’s inswinging cross to the back post for Tarkowski. Most of that came in the first half, but they did not panic at the break. [Amadou Onana](https://theathletic.com/football/player/amadou-onana-hRwgTNqRKqyTsqeX/), towering in midfield during the 90-plus minutes, pounds the Everton crest on his shirt in front of the Gwladys Street. It is meant as a compliment and there may be an element of truth in the comparison. It made for a shorter lead-in to the weekend match than had been usual under Lampard. [Everton](https://theathletic.com/football/team/everton/) have beaten [Premier League](https://theathletic.com/football/premier-league/) leaders [Arsenal](https://theathletic.com/football/team/arsenal/) 1-0, ending a run of nine games without a win. Some stay to enjoy the adulation coming their way as Spirit of the Blues rings around the ground.
