Late goals from Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud saw Arsenal come from 2-0 down to claim an unlikely point in a 2-2 draw against Everton in a Premier League match at Goodison Park.

The last time Arsenal visited Everton in the league in April, the Gunners were well beaten 3-0 by the Toffees and a repeat seemed on the cards by half-time of today’s encounter.

Right back Seamus Coleman headed Everton ahead in the 20th minute when he was found unmarked at the far post by a Gareth Barry cross in.

Everton dominated play through the first half and duly doubled its lead on the stroke of half-time when Steven Naismith shot through Wojciech Szczesny’s legs to end a swift counterattack that began when Romelu Lukaku robbed Per Mertesacker of the ball.

Arsenal brought on Giroud to replace Alexis Sanchez at half-time and the change almost paid immediate dividends but the Frenchman’s first-time volley of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s lofted ball in went just over the bar.

Everton meanwhile continued to dominate proceedings but were let down by the final ball, then appearing content with the scoreline as manager Roberto Martinez took off Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas with time winding down.

Arsenal manager Arsène on his part brought on Santi Cazorla for Jack Wilshere and soon reaped the reward when a low cross in from the Spaniard was turned in by Ramsey with eight minutes to go.

The goal restored purpose to Arsenal’s game and on the dot of 90 minutes, Giroud powered in a header off Nacho Monreal’s cross to complete a dramatic comeback for the Gunners.

The result sees Arsenal end the day in third place on the Premier League table with four points, two points behind pacesetters Chelsea and Swansea City that both won against newly promoted sides Leicester City and Burnley respectively.

Sunday’s Premier League schedule meanwhile sees Manchester United visiting Sunderland looking to bounce back from defeat to Swansea last weekend, while champions Manchester City will host Liverpool on Monday.
