"I was ringing agents," added Dyche. “But who has he been listening to? "We worked very, very hard [to bring new players in]. You know, what direction is this football club going in?

"This is not going to be a rose pathway," said Arteta of Arsenal's road to the title. "The fans are going to be massive for us. Protests were planned for before and after the game for fans to voice their anger at the running of the club.

With a new manager and a noisy crowd behind them, Everton finally showed some fight to stun league leaders Arsenal at Goodison Park.

Silva is in the manager of the season frame. After all, they are nine unbeaten in the league and now occupying seventh place. "You could see his quality and what he will bring to the team," added Potter. There was no one to mark Kelechi Iheanacho for the second equaliser, and Alex Moreno could not control Harvey Barnes' raking pass for Dennis Praet's fourth. The midfield is a mess and the forward line has stopped firing. It's the kind of game they live for. That range of passing is one of his best qualities but there was plenty more to like about his performance. The gap could obviously close to two points, but Arsenal will have a game in hand - against Everton. They dominated the second half but that hardly seems relevant when the damage had already been done by their passivity in protecting their own goal. Arsenal have proved their credentials so far this season, and they will have to do so again. It was another huge examination of Arsenal's title credentials but having come through the Spurs and Manchester United tests last month, this was a hurdle they couldn't clear. The Everton players - just as they did at the end of last season - responded.

New Everton boss Sean Dyche hailed the "rocking" atmosphere at Goodison Park that saw the Toffees win his first game in charge against Arsenal in a 1-0 win.

But we have to give the fans something. We gave the players a lot of information and they have accepted that. A lot of work has been done this week and the players’ honesty has been invaluable to us. “The fans are going to be massive for us. “We tried to plan five weeks of pre-season into a week. I want to them to understand the basics of the game.”

Sean Dyche's sheer energy galvanises Everton with echoes of club's history evident during their victory over league leaders Arsenal.

At the end, as Goodison erupted, there was a brisk handshake with Arteta and a couple of members of his staff, a brief acknowledgement of the crowd in a few sharp claps and then he was down the tunnel. In the eighties, particularly during their Cup-Winners’ Cup success in 1985, Everton had been a pioneer of a five-man midfield and Dyche, ripping up the 4-4-2 blueprint of his Burnley days, paid homage to that. There had been demonstrations outside before kick-off and early in the game a plane flew over dragging a banner that proclaimed Everton “the league’s worst-run club”. Dyche had spoken of wanting to recapture the spirit of the eighties, which is reasonable enough if only as an appeal to the traditions of the club. Most of the time, particularly after half-time, Dyche was bellowing at his defence to push up, with expansive wafts of his right arm. Vast sums have been spent very badly and again the board stayed away for its own safety, but just because there are a lot of things to put right it does not mean that you shouldn’t correct the things you can.

Everton leant heavily on their Burnley connection for a first win since October as Sean Dyche's reign as manager got off to the perfect start with a 1-0 win ...

It was the only negative response all afternoon for the hosts, who were cheered from first to last by supporters desperate for some relief from a second successive relegation battle. Neal Maupay replaced Calvert-Lewin as the Everton defensive rearguard began and his first intervention was to send Gabriel tumbling in the box, resulting in a VAR check for a penalty which came back to nothing. It was the centre-back’s first goal since joining from Burnley on a free in the summer – and his first since the opening day of last season – and ended a run of no wins in 10 matches in all competitions.

Everton beat Arsenal 1-0 in a shock result that may have a huge ripple effect on the course of the season as the Gunners' lead at the top is lessened.

"This is not going to be a rose pathway. It is easy to be next to someone when they are winning well. "We had loads of the ball but we lacked that purpose and quality in the final third, we generated many chances.

We played the top side and it gives you a feel of what is important in a performance and what it takes to win games. We have very good players and we have to give them the platform to play. Williams said on the BBC's Final Score: "Sean Dyche is the kind of character that has come in and given everyone a boost. "The players have taken ownership and pride in what we have tried to do this week and I value that. He has done it in a couple of days and Everton played with confidence and energy. It was disappointing from our side; we did not get the result. "I have been here when it has been rocking and it certainly was rocking today. It doesn't guarantee the next one, that is what I have learned. "I am aware there is a lot of noise. There has been a heartbeat here for many years." But in the space of just three hours, Everton supporters went from despair to delight. "I wanted a performance.

EVERTON 1-0 ARSENAL: James Tarkowski struck for the Toffees to get the Sean Dyche era off to a winning start and deal the Gunners a Premier League title ...

If either side deserved the victory in a game lacking clear-cut chances, it was the hosts, who showed more desire and quality on the day. Don't miss your chance for a free flutter on the weekend's action, valid on all sport including horse racing! But for the awareness of Conor Coady to be back on the goal line and make a crucial block, the Gunners would have entered half-time 1-0 up. [Burnley](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/burnley-fc) manager [Sean Dyche](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/sean-dyche) at Goodison Park, held off [Martin Odegaard](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/martin-odegaard) before finishing beyond [Aaron Ramsdale](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/aaron-ramsdale) on the hour mark. Sean Dyche can be pleased with what he saw from his side, who should have taken the lead after Onana surged down the wing and squared to Calvert-Lewin, who could only nudge wide while at full stretch. Dyche could not hide his exasperation on the touchline as another chance went begging. [Everton](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/everton-fc) showed all of the desire and quality that evaded them towards the end of [Frank Lampard's](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/frank-lampard) tenure, relentlessly pressing their visitors, who lacked their usual fluency on Merseyside. It can only point to serious discontentment among the fan base, and there has been no shortage of anger among the Everton faithful in recent weeks. Fans can rightly wonder where this energy and endeavour was towards the end of Frank Lampard's reign after witnessing Amadou Onana and Abdoulaye Doucoure relentlessly press Arsenal's high defensive line. [Bukayo Saka](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/bukayo-saka) had the best chance of the match for the Gunners but saw his volley cleared off the line by [Conor Coady](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/conor-coady), while [Jordan Pickford](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/jordan-pickford) stood firm in the face of a late barrage. With nearly half of the season remaining, what is more important for the Toffees is the performance they showed to inflict just a second league defeat of the season on Arsenal. The visitors grew into the game before the interval - which arguably came at a bad time for them - and Granit Xhaka also had a chance when flicking wide of the mark from Gabriel Martinelli's free kick.

We're off, and here are the teams. Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Doucoure, Onana, Gueye, Iwobi, McNeil, Calvert-Lewin.

The breakthrough arrived on the hour when McNeil swept a right wing corner to the back post and Tarkowski held off the tame presence of Ødegaard to beat Ramsdale with a close-range header. Arsenal were careless in possession, subdued by Everton’s industry, and duly punished when two former Burnley players combined to give the relegation-threatened team a precious lead. The fans, having staged a peaceful protest against the board ahead of the game, parked their grievances against the club as requested and were fully behind the team’s efforts. The work, while crammed in, paid off in a tireless performance that contained, disrupted and troubled the leaders. Dyche had preached the merits of hard graft and organisation during his first five days on the training ground. Ferocious, relentless and dangerous, Everton bought into Dyche’s methods on day one to bring light into the darkness of their latest relegation struggle.

But Everton suddenly have momentum and will be eagerly anticipating another hot atmosphere at Anfield for the Merseyside derby with Liverpool on Monday February 13.

But the energy of Everton's supporters was firmly focused on the football when the action got underway, roaring their side forwards. The minimum requirement is maximum effort and we saw that today.

In that sense, it was business as usual against an Arsenal team flying highest in the league and looking to open an eight-point gap on second-placed Manchester City. But the London club will have a game in hand. On Saturday, his 87th-minute header sealed a 1-0 league win against Bournemouth. That one (win) doesn’t guarantee the next one,” Dyche said. “We better change it. That run led to the sacking of manager Frank Lampard last month and the appointment of Dyche in a desperate bid to avoid relegation.
