Fulham vs Everton: Goalless Draw Leaves Toffees in Relegation Woes

Fulham and Everton played out a less-than-thrilling Premier League encounter, resulting in a goalless draw that further compounds Everton’s struggles. The Toffees, now without a win in their last five league games (D2, L3), dropped into the bottom three, firmly entangled in the relegation mix.

Near Misses and Struggles

Keen to secure three crucial points, Everton started the game aggressively, with Jack Harrison coming close to taking the lead within the first five minutes. Former Everton player Antonee Robinson also tested Jordan Pickford with a fine strike. Despite Everton’s close calls, Fulham’s James Tarkowski had an exceptional effort deflected onto the bar, narrowly avoiding a breakthrough for Sean Dyche’s side.

Woodwork Drama and Late Attempts

In the second half, both teams continued their pursuit of a goal. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s header for Everton hit the bar, while Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s attempt for Fulham struck the crossbar. The match ended in a goalless draw, leaving both bottom-half teams with a point each. Everton’s position in the bottom three is a concern, especially after Luton’s victory against Brighton.

As Everton faces the challenge of points deduction appeal, they hope to avoid a prolonged stay in the relegation zone.
