00:01Masters of their own destiny, whilst Arsenal's fate has long been in their own hands, they are now in sole
00:07control of the race, with City perfection no longer enough.
00:11Ben White is back on the bench, but there's no Christian Norgard in the Arsenal 20.
00:19Full-back Seamus Coleman and Adam Asnu are added to the bench to provide defensive cover.
00:26A 22-year wait that could be into its final weeks, eight games to go, seven wins for glory, one
00:34imminent step forward.
00:40Fury arching the back, looking for the Havertz flick, and O'Brien puts it straight up in the air.
00:47O'Brien will chase after that, and Fury's going to be there first, and he's more than happy to shepherd
00:53it out of play for the first corner.
00:58Knowing what's coming and being able to deal with it are two completely different things.
01:05He's scored 21 goals from set pieces this season.
01:09That said, no side have conceded fewer than Everton.
01:14Taken short for Madweke, through a crowd, but not past Pickford.
01:18Back in from Madweke again, keen getting that one away.
01:24Nerebunen, trying to release Gayle on the counter-attack.
01:27Well gobbled up by Rice in the heart of the Arsenal midfield.
01:30Last time out in the league, at about this stage of the game.
01:34Now to Madweke again.
01:36He's got it in, Gayle, he's steering it half clear.
01:38And Zubamendi trying his luck, as will Saka, but he's dragged it wide.
01:49Zubamendi's always alert on the edge of the box for this one that makes its way to the edge.
01:55He's the conductor, keeps Arsenal playing, but when the opportunity arises, he arrives well.
02:03Lovely turn from Ajay, getting the better of Timber.
02:08Riot coming out, only paddling it half clear, and then making a stunning second save.
02:13Back in from Nerebunen, Calafiore clears that.
02:18This is the earlier chance.
02:20Ajay, great skill to get away from Timber, who's hurt in the process.
02:23And you see Riot makes a real mistake with the cross, palming it into the path of McNeil.
02:34This is a great opportunity.
02:36Oh, it's Calafiore that makes the block rather than David Rea, wasn't it?
02:41Watch it again.
02:46I was pretty sure it was David Rea that made the save, but Calafiore gets back up and it hits
02:50his heel.
02:50It's incredible defending.
02:56That's lastly for the ball to be put out of play, because Timber is still down.
03:00McNeil, not obliging, goes for goal and hits the inside of the post.
03:04David Rea initially makes up, doesn't he, for his mistake by making the second save.
03:08But what about this for an effort from Dwight McNeil?
03:11But Rea's at full stretch and he's never getting there.
03:16This is a brilliant effort.
03:18Curling, but not quite enough.
03:24This is at Marino, very significant as well at the moment.
03:27Here's the Rebunen.
03:29And it's Keenan Dewsbury Hall, good save.
03:32Rea feeding it away from the onrushing Beto, which was all important.
03:41But the better chances are from the visitors.
03:45McNeil, here Rebunen.
03:49Now Michalenko.
04:05Jai, what the shape on his ball in, just not quite enough height to be fully effective.
04:11And Evertonian and Forza.
04:15Jai has no concern whatsoever with where the ball is.
04:20In the wall to the near post, great little flick.
04:25Jai for Michalenko.
04:32Just a Garnaguet, easy for Rea, and that will take us through to half-time.
04:37Rebunen the closest to him, O'Brien at the near post for Everton.
04:43It's a deep Rea coming out, it's back in from McNeil.
04:46Beto, can he get a shot in on the turn?
04:48Rea thwarts it, sticking out of foot to protect the near post.
04:55They've been excellent, and it could have been even better for them.
04:58But for David Rea, McNeil's effort wasn't great, but Beto won the spin.
05:05Mosquera for Madweke, who is now on the right for the first time.
05:10Couple of quick step-overs, making good progress here.
05:13Block back out for Mosquera.
05:16He's Calafiore.
05:21Queen's clearance back in from Calafiore.
05:24Saka, oh, goalkeeper spilled it.
05:27Garner had the wherewithal, just to check who was where around him,
05:30didn't panic, and got it away.
05:33Jordan picked from one and a flag, thought Pekai of Saka was offside.
05:39Everton putting their bodies on the line.
05:43Back from O'Brien.
05:44Returned by Saka.
05:45Martinelli.
05:46And for his fellow substitute, Jokeres.
05:51The BĂĽhendam's header only into the path of Calafiore.
05:56Here comes Victor Jokeres forward.
05:58O'Brien defended it well.
06:04McNeil.
06:04Couldn't drag it past Zubomendi.
06:07So Arsenal will come again.
06:21Bryce.
06:22Oh, just wide.
06:24Brilliant attempt.
06:27Snapshot from a Bericci.
06:28Yes, that Pekford grasped at fresh air.
06:32But he went just the wrong side of the post for Arsenal.
06:35Well, it might take a mistake or a moment of magic, and it was nearly the latter.
06:40Jordan Pickford, an absolute full stretch.
06:45He knew the goal was in danger.
06:50All from Martinelli, and again, Everton just hammer it to safety.
06:55The difference between a win and a draw here could be so significant.
07:07Erza.
07:10Erza!
07:11Pekford got behind it.
07:14And the offside flag is up.
07:17Almost created panic inside their own penalty area there.
07:22Got away with it.
07:25Out now, Mosquera.
07:31Down and takes on Mikhilenko.
07:33Wins a throw.
07:3490 seconds of the 90 to go.
07:36The crowd were getting frustrated, but that bravery got them out.
07:39In he comes from Downman.
07:41It's in.
07:43Victor Jokeres in the 89th minute of the game.
07:48It does not matter how they come.
07:51It does not matter when they come.
07:54All that matters is that the goal materialises.
08:04Victor Jokeres from the closest of close ranges.
08:07Late, late in the game.
08:13And the Everett's erupts.
08:17What a difference Max Downman has made since coming on.
08:22And the 16-year-old's moment of magic here.
08:27Sees Arsenal 10 clear at the top of the table.
08:32Well, Everett have been dogged.
08:35They've been determined.
08:37They've been diligent.
08:44It's not the most defensive-minded side that Arsenal have ever had on the field as they try and defend
08:49a 1-0 lead.
08:52They can't make any changes.
08:56This man on the field, they might not need to.
09:01Saka.
09:03Martinelli!
09:15In from Garnet.
09:18Arsenal get it clear through Martinelli.
09:22And here comes Downman.
09:26What an end this is going to be.
09:29Max Downman, the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history.
09:34What an impact he's made.
09:36What a player he's going to be.
09:39What a story this is.
09:42Arsenal take it to the max.
09:45And look what it means for everybody here.
09:52Look how cool he is.
09:54Skips past one, skips past two.
09:57Dribbles it into the box and taps home.
10:01And a 10-point lead.
10:05Arsenal move another step closer.
10:08A step that was at times as faltering as it was significant.
10:14But then a schoolboy came on to rescue them.
