Premier League: Held by Everton, Arsenal moves further away from championship dream

Despite taking the lead, Arsenal were held to a draw by Everton in round 31 of the 2024-2025 Premier League.

After the defeat against Liverpool, Everton returned home to welcome another Premier League giant, Arsenal, in round 31.

Arsenal disappointing draw against Everton.

Despite being underestimated, Everton still actively pushed their team to attack their opponents right after the opening whistle. However, the home team's attacks were somewhat lacking in sharpness and ineffective.

On the opposite side, Arsenal took the initiative to attack with the aim of finding a goal to break the deadlock. After many missed opportunities, it was not until the 34th minute that they got what they needed, a goal to take the lead thanks to Trossard.

After the break, the home team increased the speed of their attack and this confused the Arsenal defense. In the 49th minute, Everton was awarded a penalty when Jack Harrison was brought down by Myles Lewis-Skelly in the penalty area. On the 11m mark, Ndiaye easily fooled David Raya to bring the Merseyside team back to the equalizer.

With the equalizer, Everton players seemed to have relieved the pressure and played more freely. Meanwhile, coach Arteta asked his players to increase the pressure with the determination to take all 3 points.

Despite holding the ball and creating a better game, the "Gunners" were powerless to penetrate the opponent's disciplined defense.

In the end, Arsenal accepted a 1-1 draw against Everton. With this result, the London team still maintained second place in the table with 62 points, 11 points behind the top of Liverpool and played 1 more match. Meanwhile, Everton had 35 points and climbed to 14th place on the rankings.
