LENO……..
Gary Neville – one of many who led the fight against the proposed Super League – appears to like the fact that Arsenal have lost.
Arsenal were going to be one of 12 founding members up until the massive u-turn.

FT: ARSENAL 0-1 EVERTON
Arsenal started the second half the bright and they thought they had a penalty after Ceballos was tripped by Richarlison.
But VAR intervened and Pepe was judged to be offside in the build-up and it was an incredibly tight call.
The direction of the game looked like it was going to end a draw.
But a colossal mess by Leno handed Everton all three points when he spilled Richarlison's tame shot into the back of his own net.
