ARSENAL KEEPS TITLE HOPE ALIVE

Everton 0-2 Arsenal: Iwobi and Welbeck on target for Gunners as Wenger's men keep pace with league leaders

AT GOODISON PARK: Given all the money Arsene Wenger hasn't spent at Arsenal in recent years, it's always helpful when a kid from the academy makes the type of impact that Alex Iwobi did at Goodison Park. There was a time when the Arsenal manager seemed to click his fingers and find outstanding young players like Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Nicolas Anelka at will. That particular well has gone dry in the dozen years that Arsenal were last champions, and on Saturday Wenger seemed almost grateful that 19-year-old Iwobi reintroduced the feel-good factor almost single-handedly after a particularly dark period for the club.
