“U.S. international Landon Donovan started for Everton and delivered a corner kick that led to the Toffees’ first goal in his English Premier League debut on Saturday. Leon Osman’s header from Donovan’s delivery gave the guests an unexpected 1-0 lead over hosts Arsenal. Denilson’s deflected shot tied the match before Everton went ahead 2-1 on a Steve Pieneaar 82nd minute breakaway. Arsenal substitute Tomas Rosicky salvaged a point for the Guuners with his stoppage time equalizer.” (Football Fashion)

Match Of The Week I: Arsenal 2-2 Everton
“The cold snap hit England this week, and it decimated the English football programme this weekend to such an extent that it is almost surprising that as many as six matches took place. The decision to cancel matches during the week was a prudent one on the part of most clubs. Only those with undersoil heating were likely to sidestep the freeze, and conditions elsewhere meant that travel has been at best chaotic for most and at worst downright dangerous over the last few days. On balance, it is probably for the best that supporters were not put to the considerable inconvenience (and potential risk) of travelling to matches which were never likely to take place in the first place.” (twohundredpercent)
