ARSENAL and Everton can’t be separated in final back-and-forth Goodison clash.
Following a tense opening half an hour, Trossard would be on the receiving end of Sterling’s driving run into the Blues box before dispatching his strike.
Three minutes to be exact, a scrambling-back Myles Lewis-Skelly would be on the wrong side of Jack Harrison pulling him down in the process – giving a penalty away – as Iliman Ndiaye levelled from twelve yards.

Man of the Match – Saliba
Goodbye Goodison
Everton’s remaining Goodison fixtures are:
- Manchester City (April 19)
- Ipswich (May 3)
- Southampton (May 18)
All very much winnable considering how City have been this season and then the following two against 20th and 18th spots so fans will definitely want these remaining games at this hallowed ground to end in wins.
David moyes has his say
“It’s getting much closer but until it’s mathematical possible we can’t say too much
“I thought we were really poor in the first but much happier with how we performed second half
“If I take Everton down it would have been an absolute disaster
“We’re abit more likely to score now”
Tricky Trossard
Trossard was for sure Arsenal’s most threatening player as he always was the one getting in behind Everton’s defence and had a few chances with one resulting in a goal.
Arsenal woes
Seven of Arsenals draws this season have come from when they have already been in winning positions.
Not good enough from an Arsenal standpoint.
Full time stats
Everton move up
That draw puts Everton above Tottenham in 14th and there is no worry of them going down at all!
14 points clear of Ipswich in 18th place – just like how Arsenal’s title hopes are zero percent with Liverpool having a chance to go 14 clear of them.
Ndiaye has his say post match
”It’s a great point we lost earlier this week and needed to turn things around.
“We had to try change things around and we did.
“The more we play games here the less there is.
“We just want to finish with all wins from the last three games we’re here.”
All over for Arsenal
Everton are definitely safe now and the title is definitely heading to the red side of Merseyside – Liverpool can go 14 clear if they win at Craven Cottage tomorrow.
Arsenal will now put all their focus on Tuesday for their Champions League Quarter final against Real Madrid!

Just one goal each half in this game from Trossard and Ndiaye to get the goals in this game.

75. Subs for both sides.
Alcaraz on for Ndiaye.
Young is for Patterson.
View from Ken Lawrence
Arsenal haven’t lost a Prem game this season with a half – time lead but Iliman Ndiaye’s 49th minute penalty has put that record in real danger.
There has been a desperation, at times, in the way the Gunners have played in the Merseyside sunshine.
And there are only black looks from boss Arteta. Any hope of catching leaders Liverpool, already slim before kick – off, looks like it might end right here.
Everton 1-1 Arsenal
73. Patterson brings down Saka on the right hand side of the attacking area of the pitch for Arsenal.
Just a bit too much on that from Rice.

67. Garner whips in a corner ball which almost caught Raya out!
However, nothing amounts from this as Raya positions himself well after.
