Ronald Koeman on the brink as Arsenal run riot

Everton 2 Arsenal 5: Wayne Rooney turned back the clock 15 years with a superb individual goal against Arsenal but the aftermath of a clinical Arsenal display was more about Everton’s future — or more accurately that of manager Ronald Koeman.

In truth, it is hard to see that the Dutchman even has one after he saw his side slump into the relegation places following a desultory second-half collapse against the rampant Gunners.

Everton are mired in their worst start to a league season in 12 years but the current malaise eating away at the club extends far beyond statistics.
