Everton eased some of the pressure on manager Rafa Benitez as they ground out a comeback 2-1 home win over Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday, with Demarai Gray netting a stunning stoppage-time winner after setting up the equalizer.
Brazilian forward Richarlison, who had two goals scrapped for marginal offsides after VAR checks, had leveled in the 79th minute after Gray hit the crossbar, canceling out Martin Odegaard's first-half opener for the visitors.
The outcome left Arsenal seventh on 23 points from 15 games — four points outside the top four — while Everton, which announced on Sunday that director of football Marcel Brands had left his position, climbed to 12th on 18 points.
