Final Thoughts: Everton has lost at Goodison Park for the fourth time in as many games, each time by a single goal. Meanwhile, Luton Town achieves their first-ever Premier League triumph.
90+8′ – The last siren. This is embarrassing. The Blues did score their first goal of the season at home, but terrible set-piece defence allowed two goals to go the other way as Luton defeated them 2-1 at Goodison Park.
90+7′ – Myko crosses the ball, Kaminski gathers it and teeters on the ball, extending the clock even more. Here, the Blues appear to be in trouble.
90+5′ – Luton sends the goal kick straight back into the Everton half. Myko earns Luton a goal kick. Time continues to pass.
90+2’ – Everton finally regain possession and Tarky finds DCL in the right channel, swivels and shoots into the side-netting. Really should have tried to involve his teammates there.
90’ – It’s going to be seven minutes added on. Come on you Blues.
88’ – The Hatters have played very well keeping Everton in front of them in the second half, you have to say.
85’ – Danjuma’s volleyed cross-shot just ahead of DCL, and just wide of the far post.
Argh Beto. Blues hemming in the Hatters, cross from Garner and he heads it horribly again. Looks like he was offside anyway.
83’ – Diagonal deep from Patto wins a corner on the left. Garner’s ball is decent but cleared away.
The Blues last sub will be McNeil coming off, he’s still showing signs of rust. However, it’s an attacking sub with Arnaut Danjuma on.
80’ – Harrison cross is too deep, both Beto and DCL too close together.
77’ – Garner low ball into the box, Beto in the left channel cannot swivel and shoot with conviction, Kaminski collects.
Nathan Patterson is coming on for the Blues, it’s Young coming off. Luton striker Carlton Morris also going off.
74’ – Harrison plays in DCL in the channel, the striker goes over in the box, Taylor says no penalty, Goodison unhappy. Think it was a fair challenge to be honest, DCL was looking to go down.
Another cross into the box, Harrison heads back across goal and Beto inexplicably heads well over! Really needed him to bury that.
72’ – Everton pressure wins a corner. Garner’s corner is cleared, back into the box from Harrison, Beto holds it off for McNeil, blocked!
69’ – Harrison with a deep, deep cross and Beto coming from beyond the far post, gets a touch but the angle is too narrow.
66’ – Luton trying to eat the clock there taking the throw-in, and Kabore is booked.
62’ – Luton score again!! Brown was offside though at the far post, phew!! He got over Myko and headed back across goal for Morris to score, but the Luton player had strayed.
60’ – McNeil’s mishit shot wins a corner, and there’s a roar around Goodison as the Blues are going to go four four f**kin’ two.
58’ – Onana, frustrated at not getting a freekick, gives one away. Into the box, cleared by Dom.
54’ – Harrison’s first time with the ball and running with intent is stopped at the edge of the box. Really needs the ball played into space for him to run onto.
51’ – Onana finds DCL and the striker’s shot is blocked and bounces through to Kaminski in goal.
Now Luton counter and Morris can get a shot off, Tarky’s block sends it out for a corner, Blues hoof well clear.
48′ – Everton is applying strong pressure to the guests. With Doucoure still in front of them, Garner has moved into Gana’s place alongside Onana, and Harrison now to the right.
46: Jack Harrison replaces Gueye as the second half has underway. Dyche is making an offensive substitution!
Halftime Reflections – Everton gave Luton a two-goal lead due to some terrible set-piece defending, but they were able to draw one back thanks to DCL’s third goal in three games. But Blues must score from their opportunities.
