JACK GREALISH SCORES WINNER AFTER MOYES DEMAND FOR MORE GOALS
Jack Grealish's deflected goal secured Everton's first league win at Bournemouth since 2016. Under Moyes, Everton now boasts away form second only to Arsenal.
Jack Grealish scored the winning goal for Everton against Bournemouth, continuing his strong form. His shot in the 78th minute, which deflected off a defender, secured a 1-0 victory for David Moyes’ team. It was Everton’s first win at Bournemouth’s home ground since 2016.
Before the match, Moyes said Grealish needed to score more. Jake O’Brien, Grealish’s teammate, agrees that Grealish will score more goals. O’Brien said, He’s an amazing player. If it’s just him against one defender, I’d bet on Jack every time.
He cut inside and scored the goal that won the game for us. I’m sure he’ll keep scoring and getting assists because he’s got the talent.
Since Moyes returned to Everton in January, only Arsenal has earned more away points in the Premier League than Everton. O’Brien praised the team for staying positive after losing to Newcastle United.
We’re mentally tough with a lot of leaders, and we had to forget about the loss quickly, he said.
Things happen in soccer, and we were disappointed after the weekend, but we got a win here, and that’s three wins in our last four games. It's important to keep getting points.
We're playing against really good teams, so we need to stick together, defend well, and get the ball to our wingers and forwards. Then they can beat defenders one-on-one, create chances, and score goals.
Everyone did their job. The midfielders helped win the ball and move it forward, and the wingers were good up front.
It wasn’t just the defenders. It was a great team effort on defence.
We're happy to have Jack. If he gets one-on-one with a defender, he can beat them. He cut inside and took a shot, and I’m not shocked he scored because he’s a great player who will just keep adding goals and assists.
It’s great to play like this, but we need to keep it up. We have a lot of important games coming up, so it’s important to get as many points as we can.
Grealish gave credit to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who played as a defensive midfielder. I told him he was great. He played deeper today.
“I was tired near the end, and he kept the ball moving and made good passes. That’s what you need.
I told the guys that when you play in a tough place where the other team pressures you, you need players who want the ball and are comfortable keeping it. Kiernan was brilliant at that.
VAR REVIEW: CHELSEA 2-2 BOURNEMOUTH, ESTêVãO PENALTY DRAMA EXPLAINED! WAS IT A FOUL OR A DIVE
Explaining the VAR: How an 11th-minute penalty check at Stamford Bridge saved a point for Chelsea against a resilient Bournemouth.
Every week, the Video Assistant Referee stirs up drama in the Premier League. Let's break down how these calls are made and if they're actually right.
This season, we're digging into the big moments to explain the VAR process and the rules of the game.
What went down: Chelsea's Estêvão was moving into the Bournemouth box, with Antoine Semenyo on his tail. Estêvão went down after some contact with Semenyo. The ref, Barrott, waved off Chelsea's penalty shouts, saying there wasn't a foul. He thought both players made contact naturally as they were running, and Estêvão basically tripped himself.
VAR said, "After looking at it, VAR Pawson suggested Barrott take another look at the monitor for a possible penalty because Semenyo might have tripped Estêvão."
VAR's take: Pawson had to figure out if the contact was just part of the play, like the ref thought, or if Semenyo fouled Estêvão. It was clear Estêvão tripped, but the question was how the contact started.
At first glance, it would be hard for Pawson to disagree with the ref because the main TV angle wasn't clear. But after checking out the sideline and behind views, Pawson saw that Semenyo stepped into Estêvão's path, making enough contact with his leg to cause him to trip.
Pawson told Barrott to check the monitor for a possible penalty. Barrott watched the replays, agreed, and gave Chelsea the penalty.
The call: It was a reasonable VAR call based on today's standards. But it's a borderline case.
Barrott seemed unsure of the monitor and needed some convincing from different angles.
A lot of the time, this kind of contact is just from players running normally, and someone goes down. To give a penalty, there really needs to be a clear foul by the defender. You could say that happened here, but it's a pretty low standard for VAR to get involved.

BREAKING: UNAI EMERY REVEALS THE REAL REASON BEHIND HIS COLD ARTETA HANDSHAKE SNUB NOW
Unai Emery explains why he skipped the post-match handshake as Arsenal’s 4-1 win ends Aston Villa’s 11-game streak at the Emirates.
Unai Emery said he didn't shake Mikel Arteta's hand right after Aston Villa lost at the Emirates Stadium since the Arsenal manager kept him waiting.
This loss stopped Villa's winning streak at 11 games, their first in almost two months.
Villa held their own in the first half, but Arsenal scored early in the second when Gabriel got to the ball before Emi Martinez on a corner.
Martin Zubimendi quickly made it 2-0, and Leandro Trossard scored a third goal a little after an hour had passed.
Soon after entering the pitch, Gabriel Jesus scored, making it 4-0. Ollie Watkins was able to respond by tapping in a goal late in the game after Donyell Malen's nice play.
After the game, Emery waited to shake Arteta's hand, but he went to the locker room since Arteta was still celebrating with his team.
It’s easy to see. I like to do things fast,” Emery said when asked about why he didn’t shake Arteta’s hand.
“I shake hands, then I go to the dressing room with my players and coaches. I was waiting.
“Arteta was busy with his coaches, so I went inside. It’s not a big deal for me.”
About the match, Emery commented, “We played great in the first half, and things were going our way. We had corners and defended well. We didn’t let them get a corner in the first half.
“We felt good, but we let in the first goal in the second half. Onana getting hurt didn’t help since he’s important for set pieces and in the midfield.
“We didn’t quit, and we kept playing hard. We scored one goal and almost scored more. Arsenal is the best team in the league and should win the title.
“I’m not sure which day it is since we’ve played Arsenal twice already, and we still have to play Nottingham. But I’m happy with our goals and how we're trying to attain them.
