Everton 0-0 Arsenal: Ancelotti and Arteta watch low-quality draw

Goodison Park saw a contender for the most frustrating Premier League game of the season as Everton drew 0-0 at home to Arsenal.

Match Report

Carlo Ancelotti and Mikel Arteta watched new clubs Everton and Arsenal play out a low-quality 0-0 draw at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Alex Iwobi's first appearance against Arsenal since leaving the club lasted only 10 minutes before he had to be taken off due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Jordan Pickford made an unconventional save to keep out Aubameyang's close-range shot after the restart.

Iwobi's early replacement Cenk Tosun making way for Moise Kean, who suffered the same fate last weekend when he was hauled off at Old Trafford after playing just 19 minutes.

11' Injured Iwobi replaced by Tosun

Iwobi, having gone down holding his hamstring, is forced off and will be replaced by Tosun, who goes up front alongside Calvert-Lewin, meaning Richarlison goes out wide. 

19' CLOSE! Sigurdsson's free-kick inches wide

Sigurdsson steps up and strikes cleanly over the wall and towards the top-left corner, but it sails just the wrong side of the post!

50' SAVE! Fine stop from Pickford

Chambers flicks a header on from a corner and Aubameyang scuffs the ball at goal first-time, but Pickford tips it over the bar! 

89' CLOSE! Tom Davies' long shot wide out

Davies picks the ball up on the edge of the box and drives forward before having a go at goal, but he drags his shot well wide of the post.
