Everton 1-1 Arsenal
81 mins: Everton have a free-kick. Harrison’s ball is floated in to Tarkowski, but his header is intercepted by Martinelli and after a bit of pinball the move fizzles out. Neither team has really made the most of their set-pieces.
Arsenal have had 77% of possession in this half but haven’t done much with it.

GREAT SAVE! Everton 1-1 Arsenal
77 mins: Pickford makes a great save, diving to his right to tip Trossard’s half-volley over the bar as Arsenal break, but the ref’s whistle goes for a foul as Trossard hauled down Branthwaite in the build-up.

‘Real Madrid may not be quaking in their boots’
Real Madrid may not be quaking in their boots, assuming they are watching Arsenal today. But with Ben White going off after an hour, it may be a sign Mikel Arteta has him in mind to start in the Bernabeu. It feels a little odd that Martin Odegaard came on a few minutes later. Perhaps, were Arsenal still 1-0 up, he would not have done. But with Odegaard, Saka and Martinelli on, Arsenal will finish with a stronger side than they started.
