Everton 0-0 Arsenal: 3 reasons why the Gunners failed to win | Premier League 2019-20

#2 Everton didn’t really test Arsenal’s defence

Everton's forwards - including Cenk Tosun - failed to register a single shot on target

Everton have struggled for goals throughout this season, and today’s match was no exception; they had 9 attempts on goal but failed to hit the target once, with Richarlison, Tom Davies, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin being equally wasteful with the few chances they had.

Substitute Cenk Tosun meanwhile was so poor that he was then taken off himself in favour of Moise Kean in the second half.

Interim manager Duncan Ferguson has done well to guide Everton to a short unbeaten run in the Premier League, but if new boss Carlo Ancelotti really wants them to climb up the table then he’ll need to get his misfiring front line to start scoring goals quickly.

Improving the amount of true chances created would help, for starters; the Toffees put together just 5 key passes today and had an overall pass success rate of 79%, hardly an impressive showing considering the inexperience of their opponents and their home advantage.

Essentially, a better side could've capitalised on Arsenal's poor showing today, but somehow Everton were arguably even worse.
