Arsenal 0-0 Everton

 

Sky Sports’ Ben Grounds at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Even the Arsenal fans in front of me could appreciate the quality of that save from Pickford.”

29: SAVE! What a fine save this is. This time, Mykolenko is beaten by Saka, and so too is Branthwaite as he lays it on a plate for Odegaard, but his shot deflects onto Pickford off Tarkowski as it spins over the bar.

 

Arsenal 0-0 Everton

 

28: Everton survive another corner as Pickford claims. For a moment the ball was loose at the far post. But Pickford came out an claimed as Rice recycled.

 

Dyche hasn’t stopped bellowing at his players. There is simply no let up.

“Lovely moment where the Everton fans start a chant for Kevin Campbell, which their Arsenal counterparts carry on…”

24: Everton noteworthy for not emptying the box at these Arsenal corners. Dyche wants his entire team back for them.

 

Very much the opposite approach to Monaco, who mind you only conceded their first corner the other day in the 85th minute.

23: BEHIND! Odegaard swings it towards the near post but Tarkowski dives across to head behind. Having a fine game on his 100th appearance for Everton.

22: Back in North London, Arsenal are continuing to probe.

 

Saka wins the free-kick for something soft, and not too dissimilar to a moment not long ago involving Ndiaye and Timber at the other end. Dyche fumes, crying inconsistency.

 

But this is a chance for Arsenal to load the box…

17: BLOCK! It’s the go-to move Arsenal produce week in week out, but it’s so hard to defend. As Timber makes the underlap to take away his marker as Rice feeds a ball through for Saka, but Tarkowski makes a superb block.

Sky Sports’ Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Saka such a special player in the final third but a good example of his defensive work-rate just now as he raced back to tackle Mykolenko and stop an Everton counter. The home fans sounded their appreciation.”

Sky Sports’ Ben Grounds at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Arsenal should be ahead by now. But that earlier Doucoure chance shows they can’t be complacent in throwing too many men forward. Even though Gabriel came across to make the block, Arteta in front of me threw his hands in the air in frustration at Saliba.”

12: CHANCE! Lewis-Skelly is being given the freedom of the park. It’s his first Premier League start, but he is allowed to pluck this out the sky and set up Odegaard to his right for a shot that veers just wide. Pickford looked beaten.

Sky Sports’ Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Lewis-Skelly popped up in the No 8 position in the build-up to that chance. His positioning is causing Everton problems. Confident start from the teenager.”

11: OVER! Arsenal starting to find their feet as Lewis-Skelly is again involved to find Merino on the overlap. His low ball is met by Odegaard, first time, but he swings his shot off target.

Tim Sherwood on Soccer Saturday:

 

“That is what you need your goalkeeper to do when a team is such a threat at set pieces.

 

“Superb from Pickford.”

 

Arsenal 0-0 Everton

 

10: PUNCH! Rice trots across to the corner where the Everton fans are housed. They try their upmost to put him off as the Arsenal drum beats. Three, two, one, it is comes underneath the crossbar but Pickford confidently punches clear.

 

 

Arsenal 0-0 Everton

 

9: Doucoure had acres of time looking back at that chance. I was right behind it, but it was on his left foot. You can’t allow a defender of Gabriel’s quality that much time to get across.

 

Up the other end, Myles Lewis-Skelly feeds Martinelli, who wins Arsenal’s first corner.

Sky Sports’ Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

 

“Crucial intervention from Gabriel, showing his importance to Arsenal only a few minutes into his first game back from injury. But could Doucoure have pulled the trigger earlier?”

 

Arsenal 0-0 Everton

 

7: Everton to build out from the back but it very nearly lands them into trouble as Havertz closes down Pickford.

 

CHANCE! A glorious one for the visitors as they break through the press this time for Mangala to find Doucoure. He shoots from a tight angle but Gabriel gets across to make a vital late interception.

 

Arsenal 0-0 Everton

 

Tim Sherwood on Soccer Saturday:

 

“A pattern has formed already in this game.

 

“To play this way, Everton have to be concentrated and have the fitness levels.”
