Davies drags a tame strike well wide from 25 yards out.

Chambers dwells on the ball in defence and ends up hacking Holgate down as he tried to clear his lines. It wins Everton a dangerous free kick on the left and earns Chambers a caution too.

If it stays like this, will Mikel or Carlo be happier? Probably the away side's gaffer overall. Still time for someone to win this though.
