Everton v Coventry

Goal Yann Gboho

Van Ewijk floats in an enticing ball from the right. However, it's always moving away from Awoniyi. We're still waiting for that final bit of quality.

Armstrong! The midfielder makes a burst into the right channel inside the box and fires back across! It's claimed down low by Rushworth, but we've certainly seen a more lively start to this half than we did in the first!

Another Coventry penalty claim! Awoniyi is sent through by Rudoni, and Mykolenko sends the Nigerian tumbling without getting to the ball! It looks like the VAR is just checking whether the potential foul was actually committed inside the box. The check is over. No penalty.

Coventry kick off as this match restarts.

While it's been even, Coventry have looked slightly more deserving of the lead. They could've even had a penalty in the 37th minute as a multi-tasking Tarkowski seemingly elbowed Pinnock and yanked Yirenkyi's hair as he jumped to clear a Rudoni free-kick. Alas, the hosts have hung on in the face of the away side's 0.64 xG. The men in blue's early chances accumulated an xG of 0.28, and since their last shot in the 11th minute, Coventry had eight shots and 13 touches in the opposition box, compared to the Toffees' three. With that goalless half, Moyes's group have failed to score a first-half goal in five consecutive Premier League games for the first time since April 2025's run of six. Here's hoping we see a better second half of action.
