Aston Villa Frustrated In Goalless Draw Against Everton, Missing Chance To Catch Up with Liverpool

Aston Villa missed an opportunity to catch up with Premier League leaders Liverpool, settling for a draw in a scrappy match against Everton at Goodison Park.

The goalless draw, a rarity in manager Unai Emery’s 97 top-flight games with Arsenal and Villa, prevented Villa from overtaking Manchester City in the standings. Villa thought they scored in the first half, but VAR ruled out Alex Moreno’s goal for offside. Everton’s struggling Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a chance but couldn’t beat Villa’s goalkeeper. Despite Villa pressing in the second half, the game ended in a draw. Calvert-Lewin’s goal drought continues, and Everton’s lack of a consistent scorer is a concern.

The match also marked a milestone for Everton’s Seamus Coleman, who set a club record with his 355th Premier League appearance. Villa may not be satisfied with the draw, feeling they could have secured three points. However, Emery acknowledged the need for improvement as they focus on future matches. The draw ended Emery’s streak of never having a goalless draw as a Premier League manager.
