Everton 0-0 Aston Villa: Unai Emery's side left to rue missed chances after Alex Moreno's first-half strike is ruled out by VAR... as Villains miss chance to leapfrog Man City into second

Everton 0-0 Aston Villa: Unai Emery had never managed a 0-0 draw during his 97 games in the Premier League heading into the clash at Goodison Park.

That record looked set to continue as Alex Moreno looked to have opened the scoring with a thunderous strike from the edge of the six-yard box to beat Jordan Pickford.

Immediately Everton players protested that there had been an offside in the build-up and a lengthy VAR check eventually confirmed their suspicions, with the goal ruled out with Bailey fractionally over the line.
