Arsenal found out that Goodison Park may not suit them anymore. They arrived into this match after beating Crystal Palace in the dying minutes of the game. Meanwhile, on Matchday 1 of the EPL, Everton shared points with Leicester City after conceding a goal in the final moments.
In Saturday's evening kick-off, the Toffees took the lead through Seamus Coleman's strike after 19 minutes of play, but it was later on that the Gunners were shocked by the refs.
Just before the halftime whistle, Steven Naismith beat Szczesny after a great pass by Romelu Lukaku, but he was clearly offside! Remarkably, Arsenal came back into the game with late goals from Aaron Ramsey and substitute Olivier Giroud. Although a point is always better than none, Gooners were left fuming at the misery of losing what they should have had, if it wasn't for Naismith's wrongly allowed goal: three points.

Replays indicate that Naismith was actually offside on the goal, but the lineman blows the call, and Wenger is furious on the touchline.

2-0 to Everton. First thought was offside, confirmed by replay.

You can't expect the linesman to call Steven Naismith offside when they were so busy ogling Romelu Lukaku.

There are two things you can see from space: the Great Wall of China and the gap in Arsenal's defence...
