Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Goodison Park will turn into a battlefield for Everton FC and Aston Villa FC.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Everton FC and Aston Villa FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 8' Amadou Onana picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 13' James Tarkowski has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 59 cards already picked up this season.

  • 28' The travelling Aston Villa FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 33' Aston Villa FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 38' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 43' 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 Iliman Ndiaye suffering a number of foals already.
  • 48' It is a cagey affair so far. Everton FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Aston Villa FC's compact 4-2-3-1.

  • 69' Everton FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Aston Villa FC backline.
  • 74' Jake O'Brien has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 79' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Emiliano Buendia made 368 appearances and scored 40 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 81' It is a substitution in Aston Villa FC team. Jacob Ramsey is replaced by Emiliano Buendia on 81 minute.
  • 83' Everton FC make a change. Ashley Young trudges off to be replaced by Jake O'Brien on 83 minutes.
  • 88' Aston Villa FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
