Hello and welcome to live coverage from Goodison Park as Everton take on Arsenal.

The nasty challenges are racking up now. Gareth Barry is left prostrate on the floor after Jack Wilshere takes a chunk out of him.

Shout for handball! Referee Kevin Friend isn't going to give that - it looks like it's actually Ramsey's stomach - but it's a raucous appeal from the Gwladys Street End.

And then Giroud gets a telling-off for clattering Leighton Baines.

Oxlade-Chamberlain tries to divide the Everton back line with a ball through to Ozil, but it's blocked.

And Giroud makes an immediate impact! He's running in at the far post and volleys Oxlade-Chamberlain's pass over.

Back under way and this will be an interesting second half. Can Arsenal get back in this?

Giroud is on - replacing Alexis. Interesting.

Half-time. Everton are good for that lead as well. Expect Arsenal changes at the break.

Arsenal have conceded two first-half goals in a Premier League match for the first time since April - when they lost 3-0 to, er, Everton.

GOAL! Lukaku absolutely roasts Arsenal's flailing midfield, powering past the lot of them, and Naismith - looking a touch offside - fires through Szczesny's legs.

And a really hard challenge from Mertesacker on Naismith - studs up, and yellow card out.

Arsenal really are far too casual in defence and aren't looking that good going forward either.

Alexis and Ramsey attempt a link-up down the right but Howard as always is alert.
