yeah and the Brit announcers had spasms of delight over it. 'Good old-fashioned tackle'. Thug passion I guess.
Fair though. Btw - beautiful pass from Osman on that chance from Yakubu. Osman is such an unassuming player. But he's so effective.
Donovan can play in next week's game too. And Arteta makes up for his first two misses by latching on to a great cross from #22, making it 1-0 Everton.
Arteta! Gorgeous cross from Yakubu, Arteta is allllllllll alone, and just knocks is past the keeper 1st time.
Beautiful ball in to far post and Arteta made a great run to one touch the ball intothe net. 1-0 everton.
Nah he is available for Everton next weekend at Birmingham as well. After March 15 it's back to Gal-Gal land.
I think LDs last game is supposed to be next week at Birmingham....unless he gets extended due to MLS work stoppage
Good for both. The pressure at int level should make Donovan and jozy better. Wish usmnt could apply same performance metric. Both will come off the bench better for it.
Hopefully, that goal is what Arteta needed to find his real form. He's been playing at about 50% of his abilities the last month.
From the team news article leading up to this match, injured, citing a hamstring injury. Great cool touch by Arteta for that goal that put Everton ahead.
Apparently! simply gorgeous ball fro Arteta to find Neville down the wing, who of course knocks it off a defender.
