FT:Everton 1-4 Arsenal: Arsenal took advantage of comical defending from Everton to turn a one goal half-time deficit into a cruise to the Premier League summit.

Goal
GOAL:Everton 1-4 Arsenal: (90mins): Rosicky rounds off the scoring to make it look like a rout for the Gunners with a superb strike into the top corner.
90
Arsenal are going to cruise through the final few minutes and no doubt David moyes will be ruing the defensive errors that have cost his team today.
88
Substitution
Possibly for his own good, Fabregas is being substituted with Rosicky coming on in his place.
86
Yellow Card
As is Flamini for preventing Pienaar from taking a quick free kick.
86
Yellow Card
Fabregas is now booked for a less than pretty challenge on Pienaar.
84
Red Card
Mikel Arteta has now been dismissed by the referee for violent conduct after catching Fabregas in the face - although the Arsenal man made an awful lot of nothing really.
82
Substitution
Lassana Diarra has been demanding more starts recently and he is on as a sub now for Alex Hleb.
80
That will most likely be that and David Moyes will not believe that his team have defended as badly as this in the second half.
78
Goal
GOAL:Everton 1-3 Arsenal: (78mins) Another calamity in the Everton defence and Adebayor runs the ball into a completely empty net.
76
It comes out again as far as Carsley on the edge of the box but he places his shot straight down the throat of a relieved Almunia.
76
Arteta is heavily involved again as he feeds Pienaar and his cross only just evades Johnson at the far post.
73
Substitution
In fact it is Eduardo now that will come off for Adebayor.
73
Ironically I think he was about to come off because Adebayor was ready to come on and that could change Arsene Wenger's plans.
73
Red Card
Nicklas Bendtner is off for a second yellow card after a high challenge on Johnson.
70
Substitution
Everton are making a change as Andy Johnson replaces Tony Hibbert so a change of formation is afoot for the Toffees.
68
Yellow Card
Gael Clichy has been a well used attacking weapon but he is now booked for a poor challenge on the dangerous Arteta.
66
Yellow Card
Eduardo goes through on another route one ball from Clichy but he uses his hand to bring it down - needlessly - and is booked.
65
Cahill scored an overhead kick at Stamford Bridge recently and he goes close again here with another but he can't get it on target.
64
David Moyes' men have been a danger from set pieces today and they are so again as Arteta puts another one into the box but this time Sagna heads clear well.
61
Everton's fans are in disbelief as Arsenal have only really mustered the two attacks but Eduardo's finishing has been deadly and his selection is truly being justified.
59
Goal
GOAL:Everton 1-2 Arsenal: (59mins) Eduardo latches onto another ball behind the defence and slides it past Howard and Arsenal lead now at Goodison.
57
Superb football from Everton and Lescott eventually drills the ball across and Yakubu meets it but he can't quite steer it inside the post.
54
That goal has given Everton a bit of a shock as they would not expect to concede like that but they have responded pretty well and are back on the front foot again.
51
Hleb shows some supreme confidence to concern his manager and goalkeeper as he tries to dribble across his own six yard box.
48
Hleb now for the Gunners has a strike from long range but he has dragged it slightly wide of the post.
47
Goal
GOAL:Everton 1-1 Arsenal: (47mins) Deadly finishing from Eduardo as he latches onto Clichy's long ball and sweeps it into the net. What a start for Arsenal!
Second half
The second period is underway at Goodison Park with Arsenal looking to turn round a one goal deficit against Everton who were superb in that first period.
Half time
HT:Everton 1-0 Arsenal: Everton have been fantastic so far in the rain on Merseyside with Arsenal struggling to find their form and Cahill's goal separates them
45
Arteta has run the show in this half and he drives goalwards again here but Almunia gets himself behind it to make the save.
45
There are to be 2 minutes of added time.
43
As we approach the break Arsene Wenger is hunched down as usual on his bench and no doubt contemplating what to tell his underperforming side.
40
Still Arsenal struggle and now Yakubu chases his own flick and goes down under challenge from Toure and wants a penalty but the referee is not interested and it appears to be nothing more than a slight nudge.
37
More brilliant attacking play from Everton with Arteta and Yakubu releasing Hibbert and his cutback is met by Phil Neville who places it a couple of yards wide.
35
Arsenal finally manage to muster a meaningful attack as they force a corner that Toure gets on the end of but he can't steer it goalwards.
32
Arteta looks on top of his game today and he feeds Pienaar on the edge of the box and the South African with a delightful backheel gets Yakubu in but his shot is saved by Almunia.
30
Fabregas has been relatively silent so far and Everton are getting about him and Flamini in the centre of the pitch.
27
Another unconvincing bit of defending from the Gunners from a set piece as they take three attempts to clear this time.
24
Yellow Card
A bit of early frustration from Bendtner as he needlessly fouls Yobo and picks up a booking.
23
Everton have been the better side and they fully deserve that lead and it will be interesting to see if Arsenal change something.
20
Goal
GOAL:Everton 1-0 Arsenal: (20mins) Tim Cahill continues his recent goalscoring form as he bundles home after Arsenal fail to clear a corner. Could there be more dramatic results today?
18
A bit of an early lull here as Toure drops to the floor with noone around him - after a couple of minutes he is up and play continues.
15
Arsenal are yet to really get going so far and Everton are biting into the tackles well - Almunia is up and is fine by the way.
12
Almunia makes a good claim from a Pienaar cross but has fallen a bit awkwardly and had stayed down clutching his hip - Lehmann is warming up.
10
Everton have settled quite well here and they are not afraid to show some ambition when they get the ball but as everyone knows, if Arsenal can counter then they could cause a number of problems.
7
A great bit of play from Everton with Cahill and Arteta to the fore before Yakubu's final pass is a bit too strong for Pienaar and its a goal kick.
5
Arsenal with a couple of early efforts on goal but they are blocked from Fabregas and Eduardo by Yobo and Lescott.
3
A pretty slow start here with both sides putting out the early feelers without really pushing for a goal.
Kickoff
The game is underway courtesy of referee Martin Atkinson.
Arsenal have been a bit patchy of late and Robin Van Persie is still missing but Cesc Fabregas has bedded back in and a masterful performance is coming soon - will it be today?
Awaiting Kickoff
David Moyes' side have been in a rich run of form in recent months and the form of Tim Cahill means they are more than capable of grabbing a goal at anytime.
Awaiting Kickoff
Welcome to Goodison Park where Arsenal look to reclaim top spot after Manchester United's defeat at Upton Park but Everton will be a big test of the Gunners.
