Premier League: Dream start for Sean Dyche

 Everton 1 - 0 Arsenal

Everton 1 - 0 Arsenal

Sean Dyche enjoyed a dream start as Everton's manager as they stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal at Goodison Park.

Dyche was appointed last Monday following the departure of Frank Lampard. The hosts picked up their first victory in 11 games in all competitions courtesy of a link-up between two men who played for Dyche at Burnley.

James Tarkowski rose at the far post to power home a header from Dwight McNeil's corner to spark the sort of joyous scenes that haven't been seen since that memorable victory over Crystal Palace last season

Everton had enjoyed much better chances in the opening period too. Arsenal were outfought for large periods and failed to find any rhythm, although January signing Leandro Trossard forced Jordan Pickford into a sharp save late on.

The Gunners couldn't find the leveller and will see their lead at the top cut to two points if champions Manchester City beat Tottenham on Sunday.

Full-time scenes

 One Burnley fan replied: "There isn't a Burnley Fan that hasn't become an Everton FC fan this week Dyche is an absolute hero in these parts with @Tarky19 and @dwightmcneil. You're staying up! Proud to be a Claret- proud to call these lads out! You're staying up Toffees, see you next season!"

Another Everton fan told us: "Wow, what an amazing atmosphere that was. Need to repeat the performance in the next game now!"

A neutral fan commented on a BBC match report: "Great result for both Everton and Man City. Dyche proves once again why he is a great motivator and manager."

Costly defeat for Arsenal?

Arsenal have swept aside almost everyone put in front of them this season. However, this is a major setback for them.

Exciting and free-flowing football has lifted them to the top of the table. However, this was absent against Everton, and they did not look like scoring after falling behind. 

The Arsenal manager said: "Now is a time to love the players more than the day before and the month before, because they fully deserve it. We will be next to them and prepare for Saturday."

One Toffees fan commented: "Great performance by the team! Clean sheet, we kept their midfield and wingers quiet. DCL and Mcneil looked sharp, and Onana, Gueye and Iwobi were exceptional. Play like that again, and we can get a result against Liverpool."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
