'It was schoolboy defending': Martin Keown slams Everton after their loss to Aston Villa saw them miss out on the chance to leapfrog Tottenham and Liverpool... with the Arsenal legend singling Andre Gomes out for criticism

Martin Keown didn't pull his punches when it came to analysing Everton's performances against Aston Villa as the Arsenal legend slammed the Toffees' soft centre and singled out Andre Gomes for particular criticism.

Ollie Watkins capitalised on Mason Holgate's error to put the visitors ahead at Goodison Park before a quickfire response from Dominic Calvert-Lewin brought the hosts level.

It stayed 1-1 until the 80th minute, when Anwar El Ghazi curled home brilliantly to secure a first away win for Dean Smith's side since February 27 and leave Everton kicking themselves that this missed an opportunity to leapfrog Tottenham and Liverpool into sixth.
