Everton failed to take advantage of Christian Norgaard’s first-half dismissal as Brentford collected their first away point of the season to the sound of boos at the full-time whistle.
Norgaard was shown red after 41 minutes following a VAR intervention for his sliding challenge on Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
But Sean Dyche’s side, the Premier League’s lowest scorers other than Southampton, were unable to get their first goal in three matches with Bees ‘keeper Mark Flekken saving from Idrissa Gueye and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
