Marco Silva lifts the lid on Unai Emery spat during Arsenal's defeat at Everton

Everton boss Marco Silva was involved in a touchline spat with Unai Emery during Sunday's win over Arsenal .

The two managers clashed on the touchline during the second half as Phil Jagielka's early goal consigned the Gunners to defeat at Goodison Park.

Silva attempted to play down the incident after the game.

He said: "The football is emotional. He wants the best for his team, I want the best for mine. At the end we spoke together and everything is normal."

The defeat was a big blow for Arsenal's top four hopes, and Chelsea will leapfrog them in the table if they beat West Ham on Monday night.

How Arsenal's 1-0 defeat at Everton affects Premier League top four race

Arsenal are the only side in the Premier League not to keep a clean sheet on the road this season.

Keeper Bernd Leno told Sky Sports: "It was a disappointing result. We played OK but we didn't have many chances to score.

"We conceded an unlucky goal at the beginning of the game from a throw-in and it was difficult to play against a deep defence.
