Playing up a man for more than half couldn't help Everton get on the board, instead leading Brentford to a first clean sheet of the Premier League season in a scoreless draw at Goodison Park.

The Bees centre-back was sent off following VAR intervention after catching goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on his knee as he slid in attempting to break the deadlock late in the first half. Referee Chris Kavanagh did not issue a yellow card or award a foul but was advised to view the pitchside monitor and opted to dismiss the Denmark international.
