Trouble is at Sean Dyche’s door just as the Friedkin Group waits to walk in as Everton’s new owner. The manager was left in no doubt as to the growing discontent inside Goodison Park after Brentford claimed their first away point of the season despite playing with 10 men for 53 minutes. They did so in relative comfort, which says everything about the paucity of Everton’s attacking game.
Brentford’s captain, Christian Nørgaard, was shown a red card in the 41st minute for catching Jordan Pickford’s knee with his studs. Thomas Frank confirmed his club will likely appeal against the decision. The Brentford manager was incensed at the time but a first Premier League clean sheet of the season, and in these circumstances, lifted his mood.
