The Gunners were pressed relentlessly by Everton’s attackers and struggled to create chances, with James Tarkowski scoring the only goal of the game to pull the Toffees out of the relegation zone.

This was Everton’s first win in eleven games and they now sit 17th in the league table, depending on the outcome of other matches being played this weekend. The Gunners’ lead in the table could be reduced to just two points if Manchester City win their match on Sunday.

Ferdinand spoke to BT Sport and said that he still considers Arsenal as the favourites to win the league and that this defeat is a big learning curve for them. He believes that this is a psychological test for Arsenal and it will be interesting to see how they handle this bump in the road.

Ferdinand stated that he is eager to see how the team will respond to this challenge and how they will perform in future matches.
