76' - Off the bar! Ashley Williams gets his head to Victor Moses' cross and turns the ball against his own crossbar. How lucky is that?!
78' - Eden Hazard's mistruck shot is turned towards goal on the spin by Antonio Rudiger but the defender's effort is straight at Jordan Pickford, who gratefully gathers the ball in his arms.
82' - Close! Cesc Fabregas' long-range strike deflects off Phil Jagielka's foot and whistles inches wide of Jordan Pickford's goal.
It's attack vs defence in the closing stages at Goodison. Can Everton hold on?
87' - Eden Hazard drifts beyond Gylfi Sigurdsson on the edge of the area before shooting at goal. However, his effort deflects off N'Golo Kante and into the arms of the grounded Jordan Pickford. That could've gone anywhere.
90+1' - Everton have a chance to win it at the death but Michael Keane puts his header over the crossbar from Gylfi Sigurdsson's corner!
