THERE were few positives for either side as Everton and Aston Villa played out a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on Thursday evening.

When Ezri Konsa turned home a Conor Hourihane cross with 20 minutes to go, Villa looked to be on their way to collecting the three points vital in their quest to avoid relegation.

Moments later, Dean Smith’s side appeared to have been let off the hook when Dominic Calvert-Lewin spurned Everton’s best chance of the game following a nice bit of play from Andre Gomes.
