Sheffield United vs Everton
Both teams are off the mark now and can certainly take a lot of positives from today's game. There were bright league debuts for Archer and Beto who can make a big difference to their respective clubs this season. After the international break, Everton host Arsenal at Goodison Park where they have a fairly good record against the Gunners, while Sheffield United travel to north London to face Tottenham Hotspur.

That was a brilliant game of football, and despite both of these teams starting the game without a point, there were moments of real quality - and sheer luck! Everton took the lead through Doucoure before United pulled a goal back thanks to a brilliant finish from Archer. The striker then rattled the woodwork before the ball unluckily ricocheted into the net off Pickford’s back. But Everton found an equaliser through Danjuma, who was sharp throughout the game but lacked composure in front of goal until that moment. Pickford then made a terrific double-save right at the death to stop McBurnie from snatching a winner. Both teams, especially Everton, will be satisfied with a point.

AN UNBELIEVABLE DOUBLE SAVE FROM PICKFORD! McBurnie heads from the corner and Pickford pushes his effort onto the bar. The ball falls back to McBurnie who pokes towards goal, but Pickford is there to deny him again! What a finish to the game.

Everton are controlling possession again as we edge towards full-time, but every time United get near the ball the crowd are urging them on. The game is on a knife edge.

There will be six minutes of added time at the end of the second half. There's plenty of time for a winner!

Tarkowski blocks a close-range shot from McBurnie with his head from point-blank range, which knocks him to the floor. He needs to be seen to but he's fine to play on. However, as United have a throw-in, Tarkowski must exit the pitch for 30 seconds before he can come back on, and Sean Dyche is fuming!
