Arsenal vs Everton: Five reasons why it was the most exciting game of the season so far

3) Centre-Forward Show

Arsenal vs Everton also enabled us to see two fine centre-forwards in the classical sense strutting their stuff. Oliver Giroud and Romelu Lukaku have been in splendid form this campaign and this was evident in fine displays from either centre forward in either halves of the game.

While the first half was all about Lukaku’s brute power and link up play, the second half saw Oliver Giroud making his mark with some sublime touches and an incredible half volley that skidded off the crossbar right at the death. Giroud should have actually netted Arsenal’s goal which eventually fell onto the feet of their German playmaker Mesut Ozil who dispatched it calmly.

Lukaku himslef has some great chances but failed to convert showing us glimpses of what to expect of him next year at Chelsea with the tag of “The next Drogba” constantly hovering above him.
