Arsenal got their Premier League campaign off to a winning start but were given a late fright by Nottingham Forest while Luton Town's return to the top flight went flat as they crashed to a heavy defeat away to Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Champions Manchester City, bidding for a fourth successive title, had sounded a familiar tone the day before with a 3-0 stroll at Burnley and although Arsenal followed suit with a win of their own, they were made to sweat.
But Forest grabbed a goal back in the 83rd minute through Taiwo Awoniyi and pressed for an unlikely point. "Running the clock down, in this league, that's a very dangerous thing to do but overall I'm very happy." Everton struck the crossbar and had a goal disallowed in controversial circumstances when Michael Keane scored but referee Stuart Attwell disallowed it for a perceived foul by James Tarkowski on goalkeeper"I'm very disappointed in the fact that we didn't win the game, or certainly get a point, from a very dominant chance count, and high-quality chances at that," Everton manager Sean Dyche told the BBC.
