Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Everton FC gets underway.
  • 5' Flynn Downes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 6' Magnificent from Iliman Ndiaye! That is 41 goals in 20 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 11' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Everton FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 16' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 18' Ashley Young is ready to make an impact after coming on for Seamus Coleman at the 18 minute mark.
  • 23' Aaron Ramsdale has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 28' Both keepers have barely been tested. Everton FC and Southampton FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 33' The energy levels are beginning to show. David Moyes might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 38' France international Joachim Kayi Sanda has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 43' Southampton FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 47' Magnificent from Iliman Ndiaye! That is 41 goals in 20 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 52' A quiet spell here at Goodison Park. Southampton FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 57' The travelling Southampton FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 61' Ross Stewart is replacing Kamal Deen Sulemana for the Southampton FC side.
  • 64' Fresh legs for Everton FC! Jack Harrison comes on to replace Dwight McNeil.
  • 65' Carlos Alcaraz gets the nod from Everton FC. He replaces Abdoulaye Doucoure and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 68' Tyler Dibling makes way for Jay Robinson at the 68 minute mark. A tactical switch from Southampton FC.
  • 73' Beto has been relatively quiet despite scoring 54 goals in his last 330 appearances.
  • 74' The crowd applauds Jarrad Branthwaite as he leaves the pitch. Michael Keane steps in for Everton FC.
  • 75' Everton FC ring the changes. Iliman Ndiaye has done his job and it is now time for Dominic Calvert-Lewin to step up.
  • 80' Flynn Downes has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 80.
  • 82' The Southampton FC bench stirs into life. Taylor Harwood-Bellis is withdrawn and Joachim Kayi Sanda gets his opportunity.
  • 87' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 88' The referee calls foul for James Garner. He receives a card.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Everton FC players.
