WATCH: No stopping that! Bukayo Saka blasts Arsenal into the lead against Everton with fine goal

• Saka gives Gunners lead
• Martinelli scores moments later
• Arsenal looking to maintain title edge

WHAT HAPPENED? Saka aimed at the near post with his 40th-minute shot and caught it beautifully, sending the ball past Pickford. It was his 10th Premier League goal of the season, meaning he has now reached double digits in consecutive campaigns.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Arsenal entered Wednesday's game with a two-point lead at the top of the table over Manchester City. They avoided a first-half dip in concentration against the relegation-battling Toffees to put themselves in position to extend their title advantage.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR ARSENAL? The Gunners don't play a big-six opponent until April 9 against struggling Liverpool, so they have a real chance at building momentum before they meet Manchester City in an April 26 game that could decide the Premier League title.
