Thread of reactions to Arsenal's last-minute winner. Send me any other good ones in the replies. Let's start with the boss, Mikel Arteta.

Sharing this purely because I’m seeing loads of people treating the Kane article as confirmation he’s won, when it’s clearly just three pre-prepared articles ready to publish for whoever wins.
Chaos here at the Ballon d’Or as the official website has 3 articles promoting 3 different winners. Organisers in shock. Investigation ongoing as to what’s happened. More to come on @MailSport

I only watched the highlights but it looked like United's centre-backs were much more to blame for the goals and chances they conceded?
Senne Lammens was the lowest-rated player (4.49) in the Premier League in #GW8. 😬

Not even sure what I want from this game. Brighton genuinely might be in the title race, but we have to play Liverpool at Anfield next week. If that deflected effort is the only goal, maybe that's the best outcome.

Oh well, guess we're playing a confident Liverpool next week then 😭

As a reminder, there's no VAR for the Fleetwood Town League Cup match, as the EFL only use VAR in rounds where ALL the home teams have access to the technology (i.e. PL stadiums). Last season, VAR was only used in the semi-final & final, as Cardiff City hosted in the quarters.

Someone has just liked this tweet. I noticed yesterday the same seats were vacant for the same reason. More than three years later and the roof is still emptying onto the stands 😭
Emirates roof leaking so badly on two sections of fans that they’ve all had to move.

If I broke my nose in the pouring rain in my first appearance after suffering a freak training injury on the end of a challenge by my own teammate, I think I'd look a lot unhappier.
Martin Zubimendi did NOT look happy at the end of yesterday's game 👀 He's played just 99 out of the 720 possible minutes in the Premier League so far this season 😬 Piece on his situation to follow...

People are trying to be pedantic about Arteta’s comments here, but if you’re pedantic enough, then he’s right. Only two 16-year-olds have ever made more PL appearances than Dowman has (for now, he needs 2 more for the record), and neither were playing in the Champions League.

If you count Dowman’s apps in all comps, he’s already surpassed the Wayne Rooneys and Aaron Lennons, and there’s no PL player matching him.

Max Dowman was 16 and 297 days old when he made his 8th Premier League appearance yesterday. As a fun coincidence, when Wayne Rooney was 16 and 297 days old, it was the day of his Premier League debut.

If you told me before today that we’d already beaten Everton 2-0 this season, I wouldn’t have doubted you. Most believable scoreline.

I thought it was a bad decision when I thought he’d given the free-kick to Dowman instead of playing advantage. But against him? 😭

Really needed that second goal. We’ve been great, but you don’t want to have to keep up that intensity for the full 90 if you don’t have to, and we shouldn’t have needed to.

I hope that’s just a painful one, looked like he landed on his knee, which would obviously hurt.

If Arsenal’s midfielders/wingers can keep making runs off Gyokeres like Rice’s vs Bayern and Ødegaard’s today, we’ll get a lot more out of putting the ball into him. It’s clear those lay-offs are something he’s capable of.

Really good half in every respect except finishing, and that one time Ben White gifted Everton a 1v1. Other than that, great stuff.

Ødegaard is on a one-man mission to raise Arsenal’s number of nutmegs per game this week.
