This is the time for Everton to make a come back. Finally, there is strength on the bench. Yobo and Bainsey return, and so do Bily and Yak. Saha and Jo were rested. Still, Everton was without a midfield substitute and thus, Heitinga had to fill in the position.
Yak's availability made a difference in the attack as he curled the ball into the penalty area only to be palmed over the bar by the opposing goalkeeper. Felli also gave a good whack in the 14th minute only to sting the palms of the goalie. Yak's 28th minute header just went wide.
Finally, after all our losses, we nosed ourselves forward in the 45th minute! Timmy chased the ball along the right channel, got it under control and very quickly made a cross into the penalty box. Yak, brought the ball down well but somehow he let it roll away. "That's it!" the fans thought. Only for Bily to come from the back to slot it past Villa's seasoned keeper. Everton 1-0 Aston Villa.
Nerves, nerves, nerves! But overall, a great first half.
Everton lost their lead straight from the start of the 2nd half. What a mess! Everton 1-1 Aston Villa. After that goal, Everton has been holding fort but not progressing much. In the 71st minute, Saha came in for Felli.
Ok. Now Everton is down to 10-man as Bily has been sent off. What a rukus. Villa's defender also got sent off shortly after. The game is all so frustrating!!!
