OFFSIDE! Another chance for Everton! McNeil slides a clever throughball down the middle of the pitch to Chermiti, who wrestles away Collins before chipping his effort just wide of the target. The flag then goes up against the forward.

Brentford have scored eight goals in their last two Premier League away games, netting five on the road for the first ever time ever in the top-flight last time out at Luton. They’re looking to score three or more goals in three consecutive away league games for the first time since November 2019 in the Championship. They have only created an xG of 0.77 so far and have been frustrated by Everton’s resolute defence. Frank is about to make another change.

Jensen has possession in the midfield, and he looks to lift a pass down the right to Mbeumo, but he puts too much power on the ball, sending it out for a goal-kick. There is an audible groan from the away fans, with the Goodison Park faithful enjoying that one.

SAVE! Pickford makes another good stop! Lewis-Potter has been bright since coming on. This time, he carries the ball forward down the left, moving inside to work it onto his right foot before curling his strike from the edge towards the top-right corner. However, his effort is too close to Pickford, who pushes it away.

Tarkowski tried to stop a Brentford attack by kicking another ball onto the pitch and is shown a yellow card. He isn’t happy, but it's a clear booking.
