Everton, which is still winless this year, managed to frustrate the opposition, which had a Gabriel Martinelli goal disallowed for offside by video assistant refereeing in the opening frame.
However, the Londoners were eventually rewarded for their superiority when Trossard's shot bounced in off the post in the 69th minute following a deft buildup.
Unbeaten Arsenal, which is two points behind leader Manchester City, which has a perfect record, joined Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool on 13 points after five games. Everton dropped to third from last with one point after suffering a third straight 1-0 home loss.
