In the 21st round of the English Premier League, Everton hosted Aston Villa at their home ground.

The visitors took the initiative from the early minutes and even managed to score, but Alex Moreno's goal was disallowed due to offside. The first half was marked by an evenly contested and interesting battle, but the score remained goalless. As the second half began, there were fewer dangerous moments. Aston Villa came closer to scoring, but the match ended with a 0-0 draw. The "Villans" struggled in attack, focusing primarily on solid defense. Towards the end of the match, Everton defenders cleared the ball off the goal line after McGinn's shot, and then Dukure's goal was disallowed due to an offside position.

Sean Dyche's team should be satisfied with earning a point against a challenging opponent. Aston Villa missed the chance to catch up with Liverpool and fell behind Manchester City. Interestingly, for the visiting coach, Unai Emery, this is the first goalless draw in 96 matches in the Premier League.

Everton 0-0 Aston Villa

In the next round, Aston Villa will play at home against Newcastle, while Everton will go away to face Fulham.
