On the evening of April 5 (Vietnam time), Arsenal traveled to Everton's Goodison Park when they had a very important match ahead of them with Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Therefore, distraction is inevitable. Coach Mikel Arteta has used a squad with many adjustments, ensuring that the pillars are restored as much as possible.
The Gunners started cautiously, but they quickly controlled the game. Consecutive opportunities were created, but it was not until the 34th minute that Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for the away team from Raheem Sterling's assist.
Despite falling behind, Everton did not show much of a threat. Early in the second half, Lewis-Skelly fouled Harrison in the penalty area, the home team was awarded a penalty. On the 11m mark, Iliman Ndiaye deceived goalkeeper Raya with a shot to the right.
In the following minutes, Arsenal created great pressure. They controlled the ball up to 70%, but the strikers could not take advantage. This was a very alarming performance by Arteta and his team before the big match with Real Madrid.
The 1-1 draw left Arsenal 11 points behind Liverpool in the rankings, but played 1 more game. In the next match, they will host Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, taking place on April 9.
