Gervinho takes the ball into the left-hand corner, where they are able to see out the dying seconds as the final whistle goes and Arsenal have overtaken Tottenham to move into third place! Thanks for joining me tonight - I'd love to hear your thoughts on this big night for the Gunners and also of that goal that never was from Drenthe. Drop me a comment on Twitter - @liamhappe
90+2'
ANOTHER offside against Everton out on the right. There has been an insane amount of flag decisions. Of course, none more crucial than that one against Drenthe's goal in the first half.

Nope, still three minutes. Offside flag thwarts another Everton attack from a raking ball upfield.
90'
Jelavic leaves the field for treatment. I had us down for three minutes of stoppage time, but it may well be four now.
89'
Everton win a corner, but it soon leads to an Arsenal free-kick when Fellaini needlessly shoves Koscielny.
88'
Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger acts in the opposite manner with a defensive substitution: Johan Djourou is on for Roscky.

Cahill makes way for Denis Stracqualursi in an attacking final change for Everton.
86'
Baines snuffs out a near-chance for Gervinho to have a dig from inside the box.
85'
Good headed flick-on by Jelavic almost falls into the path of Anichebe, but Vermaelen does well to keep the replacement striker from the ball long enough for Szczesny to collect.
84'
Full time at White Hart Lane and it's finished 1-1. If Arsenal can hold on for six minutes, they are third.
83'
Arsenal zip forward with Everton pressing high, but van Persie slips as he goes to meet Gervinho's low cross from the left.
82'
Pienaar whips in a free-kick deep on the right wing, which Anichebe heads over the bar after some head tennis around the danger zone.
81'
Rafael van der Vaart has equalised for Tottenham at the Lane, but as it stands Arsenal will nonetheless finish in third.
80'
Jelavic overcooks a lob attempt and it's well over.

And now we finally get the first subs of the match. It's a double change for Everton with Drenthe making way for Victor Anichebe, and Magaye Gueye on for Osman. Meanwhile, Arsenal replace Walcott with Gervinho.
78'
Drenthe! Over the bar from the second ball of the set piece.
77'
Cross from the left is cut out at the expense of an Everton corner.
76'
For some reason, Vermaelen is lurking out on the left wing but it translates into a good cross which falls with Rosicky... who handles in controlling it before shooting. Free-kick Everton.

Gibbs with a through pass on the left-hand side of the box finds van Persie, who is at a tight angle once again but still manages to force a parry from Howard!
