    Time:90'
    • Everton
    • Aston Villa
    • 90+3' The full-time whistle goes at Goodison Park and it has ended 1-1 between Aston Villa and Everton with Bilyaletdinov's goal being cancelled out by substitute John Carew's strike after half-time. Thanks for joining us!
    • 90+2' Rodwell produces a powerful run down the left for Everton, but Reo-Coker tracks him all the way.
    • 90+1' Villa break through Warnock now down the left, but his cross is poor.
    • 90' Three minutes will be added at the end of this second half.
    • 89' Jo is also on for Yakubu as David Moyes throws his striker on for the final few minutes.
    • 88' Petrov limps off and is replaced by Nigel Reo-Coker following the Villa captain being clattered a few minutes earlier.
    • 87' Another red card, and this time it is thoroughly undeserved! Carlos Cuellar receives his second booking but it was no more than a petty foul - very harsh indeed!
    • 86' David Moyes calls over Cahill to tell him to drop deeper following the red card.
    • 85' Bilyaletdinov is sent off! The Russian came crunching in on Petrov with a tackle which was high and reckless! A definite red card and let's hope Petrov is okay!
    • 84' O'Neill is furious with Warnock for not tracking back after another attacking run down the left, and the tempo of the game late on is breathless.
    • 83' Saha is caught offside, but at least the substitute is forcing the issue for Everton in the final 10 minutes.
    • 82' Saha drives a low shot wide of Friedel's near post, but the American looked to have had it covered.
    • 81' Cahill and Warnock clash heads, and this is becoming a bit ridiculous and just shows how many long balls are being pumped into the two respective boxes at the moment.
    • 79' Warnock again gets down the right and his low cross finds Carew, but the striker cannot turn the ball inside the near post and the chance goes begging.
    • 78' O'Neill and Moyes are barking orders at their sides from the touchline as both teams seek the winner.
    • 77' Heskey and Heitinga clash heads on halfway and the Everton defender comes off worse as he lies in a crumpled heap following the challenge.
    • 75' Cahill whips in a decent delivery from the right which picks out Saha, but the striker puts his header wide of Friedel's near post.
    • 73' Richard Dunne does well to shepherd the Villa back four up to catch Saha off-side as the striker looks to make an impact.
    • 72' Rodwell goes down clutching his head after coming off worse from an aerial challenge with Carew, but he looks okay to continue.
    • 71' Louis Saha comes on to replace Fellaini as David Moyes looks to bolster his attacking line.
    • 69' The home fans sense that their side could nick a precious three points with the match locked at 1-1 and get right behind their side.
    • 68' Agbonlayor continues to play deep for Villa as he exchanges passes with Petrov and Warnock, but the visitors are not managing to find a cutting edge.
    • 67' Bilyaletdinov steals in at the back post to meet Fellaini's flick on, but he does not manage to make decent contact.
    • 66' David Moyes is urging his side forward as Neill brings the ball out of defence down the right.
    • 65' Agbonlahor and Baines are furious with each other as they challenge for an aerial ball with elbows flying everywhere - it is becoming pretty scrappy now.
    • 64' Lucas Neill clears the ball away under pressure from Young as Warnock continues to bomb on down the Villa left.
    • 63' Petrov and Cahill clash in the Everton half and the Australian receives yet another ticking off from the referee!
    • 62' Agbonlahor is enjoying a free role as he drifts off Heskey and Carew.
    • 61' Jo is warming up vigorously for Everton as he looks set to come on for the hosts.
    • 59' A second corner from Warnock finds Agbonlahor at the back post but his header goes wide after the first drifts out of play.
    • 58' Agbonlahor wins a corner for Villa after a pacey run down the right and Warnock will drift this in.
    • 57' Sidwell plays an intelligent ball through to Young but Distin is again very sharply across to clear.
    • 56' Fellaini and Sidwell clash once more in midfield and the referee intervenes as they discuss the matter in an animated fashion!
    • 55' Rodwell collides with Petrov on halfway, but that was just clumsy from the Everton man as Collins lumps the free kick upfield.
    • 54' Ashley Young looks in trouble after that poor challenge from Cahill, and he limps along the touchline with the physio.
    • 53' Cuellar lumps the ball clear after Everton attack through Rodwell.
    • 52' Villa keep the ball patiently in their half, but with three forwards on the field, they get the ball upfield.
    • 51' Tim Cahill is shown a yellow card for a cynical trip on Ashley Young, who gets gingerly to his feet after having his run ended abruptly.
    • 49' The home crowd are stunned by that astonishing start from Villa in the second half, and with Heskey, Agbonlahor and Carew all on the field, the visitors look uncompromising.
    • 47' GOAL!!! CAREW GRABS THE EQUALISER! The tall striker steals in to slot home from inside the Everton box after the ball fell to him at the back post and Villa draw level at 1-1! What an impact from Carew!
    • 46' John Carew comes on to replace James Milner and the big striker will be looking to make an impact on his return.
    • 46' The second half is underway at Goodison Park with Villa needing a response as they trail 1-0.
    • 45+2' The half-time whistle goes at Goodison Park and Everton have ended it on a real high courtesy of Bilyaletdinov's stoppage-time opener! The Russian was composed in netting the opener and Everton deserve their lead on the balance of play.
    • 45+1' GOAL!!! Cahill beats Dunne to the ball out on the right before his looping cross deflects off Yakubu and into the path of the waiting Bilyaletdinov, who coolly strokes his second Everton goal into the far corner!
    • 45' Two minutes will be added at the end of this first half with Villa enjoying a decent spell of possession.
    • 45' There is a slight delay as Warnock receives treatment for a cut on the head after a robust aerial challenge with Cahill.
    • 44' A series of long balls are peppered into the Villa box but Collins and Dunne clear the danger well under pressure from Yakubu and Fellaini in particular.
    • 43' Cahill and Rodwell combine in the centre of midfield but the latter's through ball to Yakubu goes a stray.
    • 42' Petrov finds Heskey, but Villa's attacking play has lacked urgency so far and Everton have looked comfortable at the back on the whole.
    • 41' Baines is again quickly across to deny Young, with he and Milner swapping wings at will.
    • 40' Cahill drops deep for Everton to collect the ball and spray it around, but Moyes is urging him to play further forward.
    • 39' Yakubu and Sidwell are given a stern talking to by the referee after a pointless little tussle on halfway.
    • 38' Distin wins another aerial ball to clear from Collins's punt upfield and the Everton defender has looked very bright.
    • 37' Villa build patiently from the back through Cuellar and Warnock but Agbonlahor looks isolated up front with Heskey out of position.
    • 36' Cuellar embarks on another rampaging run down the right for Villa but Baines is quickly across to avert the danger.
    • 35' Young plays a testing through ball down the line to Agbonlahor, who has been quiet so far, and the striker cannot beat Distin to it.
    • 34' Warnock meets a through ball from Petrov on the volley but he drags it agonisingly wide of Howard's far post!
    • 33' Warnock and Sidwell combine to good effect down the left before the latter drills a low shot wide.
    • 32' Both Martin O'Neill and David Moyes are anxiously patrolling the touchline as the match remains very finely poised.
    • 31' Another extremely soft yellow card is awarded, this time to Cuellar who simply stands his ground as Baines buys a free kick!
    • 30' Cahill jumps too early as a precise delivery is whipped in by Baines but Everton continue to look dangerous in the air.
    • 29' Heitinga dinks a delicate through ball to Yakubu, who meets it first time with a strong header but cannot direct it on target and Friedel has a goal kick.
    • 27' Milner drives it into the wall as the chance goes begging and Everton break through Rodwell.
    • 26' Young stands over the ball with Warnock and Milner before a dangerous free kick is finally taken.
    • 25' Cuellar is playing quite far forward for Villa down the right and he wins an attacking throw in with another strong run.
    • 24' A lull in play ensues as both sides challenge for the ball scrappily on halfway with neither able to get it down.
    • 23' Villa play the ball around patiently at the back as they bide their time before launching another attack.
    • 22' Warnock is shown a yellow card for absolutely nothing - that was pure and simple mistaken identity as Sidwell fouls Rodwell!
    • 21' Cahill loses the ball to Cuellar who brings the ball forward for Villa and the visitors are beginning to settle at last.
    • 20' Joseph Yobo loses the ball to Sidwell but his shot then goes over.
    • 19' Baines's effort strikes the top of the wall, but from the rebound, Bilyaletdinov draws Cuellar into conceding another free kick.
    • 18' Milner clatters Baines and concedes a rash free kick on the edge of the Villa penalty area which Baines stands over.
    • 17' Johnny Heitinga concedes a free kick 35 yards away from his goal which Young whips in but cannot find the head of Richard Dunne at the far post - good opportunity.
    • 16' Fellaini is proving a real nuisance for Villa as he challenges for every aerial ball in their box.
    • 15' Bilyaletdinov takes the ball down smartly out on the left for Everton but his cross cannot find Yakubu.
    • 14' Fine trickery from Young down the left comes to nothing as Cahill shrugs him off the ball at the byline.
    • 13' Distin plays a raking long ball up to Cahill but it runs out of play tamely with the Australian unable to latch on to it.
    • 12' There is a delay for some jostling in the Villa box between Ashley Young and Tim Cahill before Fellaini heads over from another Baines corner.
    • 11' Baines whips in the resulting corner and finds the head of the dangerous Tim Cahill, but the midfielder leans back and his effort goes over the bar.
    • 9' Bilyaletdinov wins a corner with a bright run down the left, and that was good, inventive play from the Russian.
    • 8' Baines clears the ball upfield under pressure from Milner as Everton push forward once more.
    • 7' Howard launches the ball forward from the back for Everton but Yakubu is not able to get his foot on the ball.
    • 6' Stephen Warnock rampages down the left for Villa but has his run ended by Neill.
    • 5' Baines whips in the free kick but cannot find the head of Fellaini and Villa clear.
    • 3' Yakubu has a powerful run ended abruptly by James Collins, who rashly lunges in and concedes a dangerous free kick, 25 yards out.
    • 2' Everton are keeping possession very tidily in the Villa half as the visitors struggle to clear the early danger.
    • 1' We're underway at Goodison Park and Jack Rodwell immediately surges upfield for the hosts.

  3. Superb game....one that should have suited the­ neutrals. It was end to end football for most of the­ game and hard aggressive football reminisent of older­ days. Well done Messrs Neill, Carew, Cahill, Heitinga,­ Agbonlahor and Young for their determined graft. The­ game only being spoilt by a referee and his second. A­ good point won by both teams.
