LONDON (Interstat) — Arsenal began its Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Emirates Stadium. The result defied a pregame projection of a draw from Interstat, which had given the hosts a 92.9% probability to win.

Forward Viktor Gyökeres broke a tense deadlock in the 89th minute, scoring the decisive goal. Midfielder Max Dowman then sealed the win in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time with a second Arsenal goal.

The win gives Arsenal a 1-0 start to its league campaign, while Everton opens at 0-1. Both clubs see their overall season records mirror those marks.
