Vivianne Miedema had failed to score in her last four WSL appearancesVivianne Miedema's goal ensured Arsenal kept pace in the Women's Super League title race as the Gunners returned to winning ways at home to Everton.
Miedema produced a superb finish after 24 minutes, creating space for herself in the penalty area before firing spectacularly past Emily Ramsey.
The Dutch striker was left with her hands on her head after she was denied by last-ditch Everton defending following a second-half corner at Meadow Park.
But the single goal proved enough for Jonas Eidevall's side to respond positively to seeing their 14-match winning run ended by Manchester United a fortnight ago.
Arsenal were able to welcome back England captain Leah Williamson following a two-month absence because of a foot injury, with the 25-year-old coming on as a second-half-substitute.
But Everton goalkeeper Emily Ramsey, who denied Caitlin Foord late on among her 12 saves, prevented the Gunners being assured of victory up until the final whistle.
A 14th successive win over Everton moved Arsenal level with Manchester United, who earlier thrashed Aston Villa 5-0, and Chelsea after eight games - before the Blues' match against Leicester City concludes.
