Mikel Arteta saw Arsenal slip to their eighth defeat of the Premier League season. REUTERSArsenal boss Mikel Arteta admitted his players were in a "big fight" after slipping to an eighth defeat of the English Premier League season at the hands of high-flying Everton. Carlo Ancelotti's side moved five points behind leaders Liverpool after beating the Londoners 2-1 in front of 2,000 delighted fans at Goodison Park. Arsenal were dealt a major blow before kick-off, losing captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to a calf injury. After a really intense period for the boys they should be really proud of how they came through that, results-wise."
