Defender Sol Campbell celebrated his first Premier League game of the season in style by heading both goals as Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 at Highbury last night.

Campbell, wearing the captain's armband in the absence of injured striker Thierry Henry, scored his copycat goals in the 11th and 30th minutes - both times from free kicks curled in by Spanish forward Jose Antonio Reyes.

Arsenal, who memorably won this fixture 7-0 at the end of last denied a third when a Fredrik Ljungberg effort crashed against the crossbar.
