More penalty pain as Jake in RIGHT place

EVERTON played out a goalless draw with Burnley.

But along with those chances to score for Beto and Thierno Barry, who were both denied by Clarets goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, here are some moments missed from the clash at Turf Moor.Spot of bother

And we'll start with a spot of bother. Yes, another game, another penalty decision that doesn't go Everton's way.

After failing to remove the club who have played more English topflight seasons than any other from the division after an unprecedented brace of points deductions in the 2023/24 campaign for PSR breaches, perhaps the Blues don’t have many friends at the Premier League headquarters with their supporters continuing to boo the competition's anthem at every game?

It starting to feel like death by a thousand cuts for Everton when it comes to these repeated calls going against them. James Tarkowski against Leeds United and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall against Brighton & Hove Albion in the first two matches of the season both conceded spot-kicks for supposed handballs, but when their opponents perform similar actions, the officials don’t want to know.

It was a similar story when Thierno Barry was kicked in the area by Arsenal's William Saliba in the Blues’ previous fixture. The Blues didn’t get the penalty but Fulham did against Nottingham Forest in an almost carbon copy challenge a mere 48 hours later - a decision that David Moyes remarked he almost half-choked over.
