GOODISON PARK — Arsenal came to Goodison on Grand National day, knowing that unless Liverpool “did a Devon Loch” their title ambitions were dead. Despite the story of the Queen Mother’s horse collapsing in the home straight being regularly trotted out as a sporting metaphor, the story of the 1956 National has never translated easily to football.
However, with eight matches left, Arsenal were then six points behind United with two games in hand. Now, Mikel Arteta’s side travelled to Merseyside with Liverpool leading by 12 points, in reality 13 with goal difference.

The race for the 2025 Premier League title has long been one that existed only in the realm of mathematics. The number of first-choice players on the Arsenal bench was testament to that.
The result aside, this was a decent workout for Arsenal before the encounter with the European champions. At intervals during the second half, Arteta brought on Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard, all of whom should feature from the off on Tuesday night.

The first goal began with Everton surrendering possession while pressing in Arsenal’s area. Sterling brought the ball forward with flashes of the old, quick-footed skill before feeding Leandro Trossard to drive decisively past Pickford.
Moyes’s return has ensured Goodison’s farewell will not be conducted amid a frantic struggle against relegation. For the Everton fans, until the curtain falls on this grand old arena next month it will be about being there, the memories and the banners rather than the results. The Everton team, which has not won here since February, is taking its leave with a shrug of the shoulders.
