Everton and Aston Villa have been fixtures in the English Premier League for many years, but their recent encounter on Saturday was a case of two sides that don't show any signs of aesthetic excellence in their attack.

Both teams started the match with a defensive approach, with Everton conceding possession early on to Aston Villa. However, it was Villa who had the first real chance of the game, with Tyrone Mings hitting the post after just three minutes.

Despite this, both teams struggled to create any clear-cut chances throughout the first half, with Everton creating more than Aston Villa but failing to convert those opportunities into goals.

In the second half, Everton began to play more aggressively, with James Rodriguez and Richarlison looking dangerous down the flanks. However, they were unable to find a way through Villa's defense, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw.

Overall, it was a disappointing performance from both teams, with neither side showing any signs of a dominant attacking presence. It will be interesting to see if either team can turn things around in the coming weeks and improve their performances.
