Incredibly classy Arsenal gesture before Everton clash went completely under the radar

It may have escaped the notice of the majority of football fans but Arsenal were keen to pay tribute to Everton’s history at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Inevitably, the incident has taken centre stage, but the North London-based outfit’s efforts to honour heritage shouldn’t be forgotten.
