For much of the evening, it appeared Arsenal might endure a frustrating night against a disciplined Everton side. However, the atmosphere shifted instantly when Gyokeres, with Dowman playing a key role in the build up, found the net in the dying embers of the game, ending the tension that had gripped the London crowd for nearly 90 minutes.
"Very big of course, we score so late and, of course, we know it is very important for us to win these kinds of games," Gyokeres said of his match-winning contribution. "It was a good feeling afterwards. We always believe that we can win the games. To do it again was a great feeling. I don't mind those. It was a very nice goal."
