    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.

    76. Xhaka fails to cope with Richarlison and the Brazilian gets to the byline.

    Richarlison gets a shot off – but it's not on target – and the ball goes through Leno's legs and into the back of the net!

    53. NO PENALTY!

    After a lengthy review, the penalty won't stand due to an offside in the build-up.

    And Pepe who was set to take it is penalised.

    It didn't really look like a penalty in the first place so the right call was made.
