The match started with Arsenal dominating, but Everton was the first to fire a shot at the two goals when Mobay tried his luck with a long-range ball, which was removed by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in the seventh minute.
Randomly marred the games of the two teams after 10 minutes had passed, and neither of them could pose a danger to the other. Everton launched a counterattack in the 28th minute, but Doucouri’s ball did not find anyone watching it in front of the goal.
And Arsenal managed to open the scoring in the 40th minute, when Zinchenko glimpsed his teammate Saka alone without control inside the penalty area, to pass to him, so the English international controlled the ball and shot into the near top corner of the goal.
And in stoppage time in the first half, Arsenal added the second goal, when Jaya lingered in dealing with the ball, to be passed by Saka towards Martinelli, who fired into the net easily.
