The Gunners made an early breakthrough through Konsa, who opened the scoring in the seventh minute, before Gabriel doubled their advantage in the 68th minute to seal all three points for the home side.
Arsenal wasted little time asserting themselves, with their early goal giving them the perfect start in front of their home supporters.
Konsa found the back of the net following a corner delivered by Martin Ødegaard, with the ball flicked on into a crowded penalty area before the defender finished at the far post.
Everton attempted to respond but struggled to find a way past Arsenal’s defence as the hosts maintained pressure and looked to extend their lead before the break.
The visitors continued searching for an equaliser after the restart, but Arsenal remained organised at the back while looking dangerous going forward.
Their persistence paid off in the 68th minute when Gabriel Magalhães rose to head home a cross from Ben White, doubling Arsenal’s advantage and putting the result beyond Everton’s reach.
The second goal gave the Gunners breathing space as they managed the closing stages to secure a clean sheet and a valuable three points.
The victory strengthens Arsenal’s position in the Premier League title race, while Everton are left to reflect on a difficult afternoon in north London.
Arsenal will now turn their attention to their next fixture as they seek to maintain their momentum in the race for domestic honours.
