Everton vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Everton have another little spell in possession and are passing it around the outskirts of Brentford’s box, but their attack ends when Gueye plays the ball straight to Toney. Mbeumo then looks to turn away on the counter. However, he is fouled by Young.

Over 30 minutes have been played, but there is yet to be a shot on target from either side. It has been a contest of two contracting styles, with Everton going for a direct approach, whereas Brentford have looked to keep the ball on the floor on most occasions.

Godfrey lifts the ball over the top of Brentford’s defence, with Chermiti getting into a race with Pinnock and winning a corner. McNeil aims for the back post with his inswinging cross, but Pinnock leaps the highest to head it out.

Everton have a rare spell of extended possession after Chermiti does well to knock a header back to McNeil. The Toffees switch the ball over to the right, but Godfrey's lofted cross is easily collected by Flekken.

Toney drifts over to the left and drives a cross towards Wissa in the middle, but Branthwaite comfortably gets across to head it back towards the forward and out for a throw-in. If the ball into the box was the other way around, Toney would have been able to challenge the defender.

Having been unbeaten in their first three Premier League games against Everton (winning two and drawing one), Brentford have now lost their last two against the Toffees. They have edged the chances so far in a contest that has struggled to get going, creating an xG (expected goals) of 0.17 compared to Everton’s 0.07.

Brentford continue to put the pressure on Everton's defence, with Ajer collecting the ball on the right before whipping a low, inviting cross into the box. It takes a slight defection on the way through, with Tarkowski poking it away just ahead of Pickford.

CHANCE! What an opportunity for Brentford! Reguilon lifts the ball down the left side of the box to Janelt, who takes a wonderful touch before cutting it back to Jensen. He then gets a shot away at close range, but Branthwaite makes a huge block. Toney is unhappy as he was free to his right.

Toney has been the quietest of Brentford's three attackers and has had just three touches. The forward keeps looking to drop deep to get involved with the play, often moving into the Bees' half.

Ajer has been bright in the opening exchanges, with the right-back curling another accurate pass down the right. This time Wissa gets on the end of it, and he drives a cross into the box, but Godfrey does just enough to clear it away at the back post.
