With a new manager and a noisy crowd behind them, Everton finally showed some fight to stun league leaders Arsenal at Goodison Park.

[Statistics](https://www.espn.com/soccer/stats/_/league/eng.1) [Standings](https://www.espn.com/soccer/table/_/league/eng.1) When Dyche was appointed last week, only the most optimistic Everton fan -- and optimism has been thin on the ground here for a while -- would have backed the new boss to get anything from his first two games in charge. Arsenal's first league defeat since September has given Manchester City the chance to claim top spot when they travel to the Emirates on Feb. But Arsenal didn't do that and allowed Everton to grow in confidence with every 50-50 challenge.

Having played for Everton and experienced the Goodison Park crowd firsthand, Arteta will have known what awaited his side in this game.

Nketiah dances past two on the left and lays the ball back for Odegaard, who blazes a first-time shoot over the bar. Epitomised the energy, desire and industry required to be part of a Dyche side. Everton come again down the left flank and Doucoure ghosts into acres of space in the box but contrives to miscue his free header wide from McNeil’s pinpoint cross. Onana bursts down the left and charges into the area. The focus now must be on bouncing back against Brentford with a crunch home clash with Man City just four days later on February 15. Goodison Park has not been a happy hunting ground for them in recent years and they will be keen to cast this aside as a mere blip.

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.
Arsenal were on the receiving end of Everton's new manager bounce as they slipped to a costly defeat 1-0 to Sean Dyche's men on Saturday.
They were second best all afternoon and could easily have been behind before Tarkowski towered over Odegaard to head home Dwight McNeil’s corner on the hour mark. The defeat - Arsenal’s third in a row at Goodison Park - could see their lead at the top of the table cut to just two points if Manchester City win at Tottenham on Sunday, although the Gunners would still have a game in hand. The home side went into the game having lost eight of their last nine matches in all competitions but, inspired by new manager Sean Dyche, they outfought and outplayed the Premier League leaders on Merseyside.

Everton, which claimed its first victory since Oct. “Today I love them much better than the week before or a month ago. I am still so proud of all of these players." “This is not going to be a rose pathway," Arteta said. 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.

With Brenden Aaronson also in the squad, Leeds became the first team to have three U.S. “Outstanding and composed,” Forest manager Steve Cooper said of the three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, who moved from Paris Saint-Germain this week. To do it in front of the home fans is a moment I’ll never forget. “There’s still a lot of football to be played,” City defender Kyle Walker said. “Sooner or later it is going to change,” City manager Pep Guardiola said of his team’s record at Tottenham’s new stadium, “but it’s strange. Kane swept home the winner in the 15th minute after Pierre-Emile Højbjerg intercepted a pass out from the back by City midfielder Rodri and set up the striker to score his 200th Premier League goal.
Harry Kane became Tottenham's all-time leading scorer as Man City failed to cut the gap on table-toppers Arsenal by slumping to 1-0 defeat.
City's response was tepid - indicative of their recent trips to the swankiest new stadium in the Premier League. In stark contrast, City were infuriatingly ponderous for most of the contest.

Harry Kane made history with his goal as Tottenham beat Man City and stopped Pep Guardiola's side from taking advantage of Arsenal's earlier loss.
[Aston Villa](/soccer/team?id=362) (Feb. - This was the first time since joining Manchester City that Erling Haaland failed to attempt a shot in a game. [Leicester City](/soccer/team?id=375) in a potentially tricky Premier League clash on Feb. We know when we play against this team we have to suffer because they have the ball a lot but we moved well in the defensive situation and defended the goal in a brilliant way. We knew very well that in that game (at City) we lost our key - our capacity to suffer. Yet that was precisely how City lost this game: [Rico Lewis](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/325564/Rico-Lewis) lost the ball near his own box and Tottenham pounced. To do it here against one of the best teams in the world, it's a special feeling." I was desperate to do it with a win as well, and in front of the home fans. [Kevin De Bruyne](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134947/Kevin-De-Bruyne) -- City's best passer of the ball, and one of the finest the Premier League has ever seen -- was a decision that palpably backfired, but more than that, Guardiola's 4-2-4 setup did not have the desired effect. De Bruyne was introduced just before the hour mark, but City only marginally improved and the suspicion remains that despite his ferocious start to life in England, City are yet to find a way to consistently involve Haaland. In doing so, Kane became only the third player to score 200 goals in the Premier League era after Alan Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208). Kane is also the quickest to reach that milestone, having required 304 games compared to Shearer (306) and Rooney (462).

[Arsenal](/sport/teampages/arsenal.html) fans have thanked Harry Kane for his contribution to their Premier League title challenge by highlighting old photos of him in a Gunners shirt, after the Tottenham star's winning goal against Manchester City. 'Imagine we win the league by 2 points,' a third posted. 'A dream we all share and he gets to live it.' 'Would just like to congratulate fellow Arsenal fan Harry Kane on helping our beloved Gunners with a big goal in the title race,' one fan tweeted. Arsenal fans revelled in the moment on social media, posting photos of a young Kane wearing an Arsenal shirt on the day the Invincibles secured the Premier League title back in 2004. One Arsenal fan suggested Kane should be invited to the club's potential title parade at the end of the current campaign.
