Arsenal Vs. Everton: Laurent Koscielny Puts Arsenal Up With 15 Minutes To Play

And unlikely source has completed Arsenal's comeback against Everton, but with his second goal in three matches, Laurent Koscielny probably shouldn't be considered an unlikely scorer much longer. The Arsenal defender, as he did against Ipswich Town, has header home a corner kick, his conversion of Robin van Persie's ball from the left giving Arsenal a 2-1 lead.

For much of this half arsenal has looked their normal, dominating selves, but through the period's first 20 minutes, Everton looked ready to hold out for what would have been a debilitating upset for the Gunners. With Manchester United up two at Old Trafford, Arsenal needed three points. Thanks to Koscielny's header, the Gunners now look on track to get them, potentially preserving the five point gap between them and United.

For Everton, just over ten minutes remain to find an equalizer, though this match will have to see a huge swing in momentum for the Toffees to salvage a point. With Louis Saha's relatively early goal, Everton was able to play conservatively, but now chasing the match, Everton may have to find an attacking prowess they've lacked throughout the season.
