Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes suffered another setback as they were held to a one-all draw at Everton.
The result means leaders Liverpool require only eleven points from their remaining eight games—starting with Fulham on Sunday—to guarantee themselves the title.
Arsenal broke the deadlock with the first shot on target of the contest as Leandro Trossard drilled home a cool finish on the counter following Raheem Sterling’s pass.
Everton equalised when they were awarded a penalty in the second half with Myles Lewis-Skelly bundling over Jack Harrison inside the box and Iliman Ndiaye converting the spot-kick.
Neither side was able to find a winning goal as Everton provided a boost to local rivals Liverpool by claiming a point.
In other games, Crystal Palace beat Brighton two goals to one, Ipswich lost two goals to one against Wolves while West Ham and Bournemouth settled for a two-all draw.
