Everton were held to a 0-0 home draw by Arsenal on Saturday in a dull English Premier League (EPL) clash.
However, the result did take a back seat to the development where both clubs named new managers to revive their fortunes within 24 hours.
Carlo Ancelotti, named as the new Everton manager barely an hour before the kickoff, got a first glimpse of the Toffees from the directors’ box.

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford produced a superb reflex save to deny Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from close range shortly after the break.
