Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Everton FC and Arsenal FC has kicked off!
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Everton FC and Arsenal FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' It’s a booking for Arsenal FC player. Mohamed El Neny gets a Yellow card.
  • 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Michael Keane suffering a number of foals already.
  • 22' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Rob Holding makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 27' The home supporters are growing impatient. Everton FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 32' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 35' Nicolas Pepe makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Arsenal FC are in front.
  • 40' Kieran Tierney catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 40.
  • 45' Yerry Mina makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and Everton FC are in front.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 416 games and scored 729 goals.
  • 55' With 2 assists to his name this season, Kieran Tierney is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Arsenal FC.
  • 60' Both keepers have barely been tested. Everton FC and Arsenal FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 64' The supporters are chanting for Joe Willock. He replaces Mohamed El Neny on 64 minute.
  • 69' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 71' Martinelli has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nicolas Pepe on 71 minute.
  • 76' The Arsenal FC bench stirs into life. Eddie Nketiah is withdrawn and Alexandre Lacazette gets his opportunity.
  • 81' It looks like no one’s ball. Arsenal FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 83' A change in the Everton FC ranks — Alex Iwobi exits the field as Seamus Coleman enters on 83.
  • 88' It looks surprising Arsenal FC does not make any changes. Mohamed El Neny has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' Jonjoe Kenny has so much to prove this time. He replaces Richarlison on 90 minute.
  • 90' Controversy at the stadium! Joe Willock argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
