The first serious moment in the match came in the 16th minute. Dwight McNeil went down in the opponents penalty area and the tackle was scrutinised by VAR for a long time, but in the end it was not for the time being.

Everton’s lead lasted less than 10 minutes. In the 31st minute, Elijah Adebayo found the ball after Sambi Lokonga’s centre and beat Jordan Pickford in the visitors’ goal.
Late in the half, Alfie Doughty sent a nasty centre into the opposition penalty area, Carlton Morris got to the header and one of Everton’s defenders had to head the ball flying towards goal to safety.
In the 53rd minute Tahith Chong was illegally stopped a few yards outside the whitewash. Doughty took the ball and his centre found one of his teammates, but his header was well over.

In the 77th minute, Calwert-Lewin had the best chance of the 2nd half. The England international headed from the edge of the box, but Thomas Kaminski made a great save.
