Eventually, the spectators witnessed the first goal in the 41st minute, when Danny Ings scored after a precise pass from James Milner. However, the visitors did not enjoy this advantage for long as Romelu Lukaku equalized in added time.
In the second half, Everton played more aggressively and did not allow the visitors to create a single dangerous opportunity. Ultimately, the match ended in a draw after the referee's final whistle.

From the first minute, the hosts pressed the visitors from Manchester and scored the first goal in the 6th minute. Alexis Sanchez scored a beautiful goal after a precise pass from Mesut Ozil.
