  • Gyokeres penalty sees Arsenal top at Christmas
    Dec 22 2025

    Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 1-0 win away to Everton on Saturday.


    The panel reflect on getting the job done in a must win away game, a steady but flawed performance, the slow start to the first half, a lack of cohesion in the midfield, still waiting for the team to click going forward, Declan Rice being back to his best, Victor Gyokeres’ improved performance and being entrusted with the penalty by his teammates.


    Plus, they look ahead to Arsenal’s match against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night at Emirates stadium.
