Arsenal have taken a much-needed one-goal lead against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
In the wake of Manchester City's comfortable 3-0 win over West Ham, nothing short of three points on the night would have been deemed acceptable for Mikel Arteta's Gunners, as the Premier League title race continues to bubble to the surface heading into Christmas.
The capital side so often struggle against the Toffees in these parts, but a timely converted penalty from Viktor Gyökeres sees the title hopeful in front after the Swede slammed home from the spot after Jake O'Brien committed a clear handball in the box.
It's a goal the former Sporting man truly needed as he struggles to adapt to the Premier League, but his ruthless efficiency was on display, seeing him sit on 24 converted penalties in his last 24 taken for club and country.
He has yet to fully adapt to life in the English top flight, but this may go a long way in kick-starting his Arsenal career.
