London: Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny headed Arsenal to a 2-1 victory over Everton by seizing on porous defending twice inside two minutes Saturday in rainy London.
It was Arsenal's fourth consecutive Premier League victory and came at the end of a week when the Gunners raised morale by stunning Bayern Munich with their first Champions League win of the season.
A scrappy game came to life in the 36th minute when Giroud, with his back to goal, rose above Everton defender Phil Jagielka and glanced a header past Tim Howard.
The American goalkeeper was beaten again when Koscielny flicked in his header from close range after meeting Santi Cazorla's free kick.
Everton had provided little goal threat until Ross Barkley pulled one back before halftime with a shot that deflected off Gabriel Paulista.
