Mbeumo and Jensen again stand over the corner-kick but it’s the latter who drives it in, looking for Norgaard at the near post. The Brentford captain manages to flick the ball on but an alert Pickford smothers it expertly.

OFF THE POST! Brentford again counter-attack after Everton’s corner but they can only strike the base of the woodwork after Wissa’s cross is initially cleared by Holgate. Jensen picks up possession 20 yards from goal and hits a low effort to the far post that beats Pickford but not the frame of the goal!

Onana splits the lines with a pass to Patterson but Gray can only win a corner-kick thanks to Mee’s block on the cross.

McNeil puts an inswinging corner into the penalty area looking for Mee but it’s cleared immediately by Brentford, who launch a pacey counter-attack after exiting their own 18-yard box which is broken down by a backtracking Patterson.
