Liverpool, Dec 20 (AP) Mikel Arteta's woes deepened when Arsenal was beaten by Everton 2-1 to go seven games without a win in the English Premier League as he marked a year in charge of the London club.

While Arsenal dropped to 15th on Saturday, Everton — which Arteta played for like Arsenal — is up to second after a third win in eight days.

Everton scored from only one shot on target as Rob Holding's own goal opener was followed — after Nicolas Pepe's equalizing penalty — by Yerry Mina's header on the stroke of halftime.

Arsenal was not helped by the absence of top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with a tight calf but the visitors conceded possession from the off and lacked any intensity or desire to break up their opponents' play. (AP)
