Both Teams Trade Chances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everton almost stunned the home crowd midway through the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A brilliant block from Calafiori denied <strong>Dwight McNeil<\/strong> from close range before the winger curled another effort that rattled the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moments later, Everton midfielder <strong>Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall<\/strong> unleashed a powerful shot from distance that forced an excellent save from <strong>David Raya<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s frustration increased when defender <strong>Jurri\u00ebn Timber<\/strong> was forced off with an injury in the 38th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Everton goalkeeper <strong>Jordan Pickford<\/strong> denied Saka late in the half to ensure the teams went into the break level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second Half: Arsenal Keep Pushing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After halftime, the match remained tense and evenly contested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everton striker <strong>Beto<\/strong> nearly broke the deadlock but was denied by Raya\u2019s outstretched boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal responded immediately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saka<\/strong> forced another

Arsenal manager <strong>Mikel Arteta<\/strong> introduced <strong>Gy\u00f6keres<\/strong> and <strong>Gabriel Martinelli<\/strong> just after the hour mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, Everton\u2019s defence remained stubborn, and Arsenal began attempting more shots from distance. <strong>Eze<\/strong> came closest when his curling strike narrowly drifted wide of Pickford\u2019s post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"
